But what exactly are wetland and dryland?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wetlands are areas which are surrounded by water or have soil that has good moisture. Wetlands acquire water from surrounding rivers and small water bodies. Wetlands are highly diverse and many types of plants can be cultivated here. The major crops that are cultivated in wetlands are paddy, sugarcane, turmeric, plantain and betel leaves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Drylands are areas that do not have much water resources and have unpredictable rainfall. But these areas have crops that flourish specifically in these types of lands. Some of the crops cultivated in drylands are cotton, millets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/ragi-finger-millet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ragi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/kodo-millet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>varagu<\/em> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/little-millet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>samai<\/em> <\/a>and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are also some unique plants which can be grown in both of these lands. Green leafy vegetables, coriander and mint can be cultivated in both types of lands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can wetland be converted into dryland and vice versa?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" class=\"wp-image-517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dry land\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sari-fayomie-6i17ONiPsS4-unsplash-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This process is possible but is highly time-consuming and takes a lot of effort. So, unless it is really called for, it is advisable not to try out this strenuous job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are also various types of soil in these lands. Some of them are red soil, black soil, clay soil, salty soil and marshy soil. The soils are very different in color and have differences when it comes to various types of cultivations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Red soil is mostly found in warm places, and is very fertile. Under proper irrigation, it can produce crops like wheat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/millets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">millets <\/a>and potatoes. Black soil is used to produce cotton, chillies and maize. Clay soil produces lettuce, cabbages, broccoli and sugarcane. <em>Vandal <\/em>soil (alluvial soil) is found alongside rivers and deltas. The combination of clay soil and <em>Vandal<\/em> soil produces paddy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are a variety of plants that can be cultivated in salty soil like shrubs, century plants, oleander, New Zealand flax, rosemary, magnolia trees, eastern red cedar, southern magnolia, willow oak and much more. Plants that grow well in marshy soil are cattails, sedges, sawgrass, marsh marigold and corkscrew rush.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5<sup>th<\/sup> Century BC paddy in Tamil Nadu<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/reiseuhu-xfItpqv9V0k-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"green field\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Department of History from Pondicherry University had conducted an archaeological research in a place called <em>Porunthal<\/em> village near Palani. They found a four-legged jar in a village called <em>Chinna Gandhipuram<\/em>. They also found paddy in the jar. How old could the paddy have been?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In a research carried out by Beta Analytic Laboratory &#8211; USA, it was found that the paddy belonged to the period between BC 490 and BC 450. The research team also found some brick work buildup in a place called <em>Pasimedu<\/em>, and discovered that a glass bead production unit had existed between 1<sup>st<\/sup> Century BC and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Century BC.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The five types of land<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ancient Tamil literature shows that people lived in five major types of land and the people who lived at each place ate different types of food. Different types of lands have different atmospheres and climate conditions and people tend to eat accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Western people ate food like wheat and meat to withstand their cold climate. Similarly in North India, people used to consume more of sweet and fatty food due to the cold climate. Whereas in states like Tamil Nadu, where the climate is temperate all year round, people ate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulamart.com\/rice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rice<\/a> and other food which did not produce heat in their bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now let\u2019s take a look at the five types of lands and the types of food that people ate in these lands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"paddytablewid\"><div class=\"wptb-container-legacy\" data-table-id=\"1189\">\n    <table class=\"wptb-preview-table wptb-element-main-table_setting-1189\" data-reconstraction=\"1\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-wptb-table-tds-sum-max-width=\"344\" data-wptb-cells-width-auto-count=\"2\" data-wptb-horizontal-scroll-status=\"true\" data-wptb-extra-styles=\"LyogRW50ZXIgeW91ciBjdXN0b20gQ1NTIHJ1bGVzIGhlcmUgKi8=\" role=\"table\" data-table-columns=\"3\"><tbody><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209); width: 50px;\" data-x-index=\"0\" data-y-index=\"0\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-67\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p>Sl.No<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-x-index=\"1\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-68\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p>Types of Land<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-x-index=\"2\" data-y-index=\"0\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-69\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p>Types of Food<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\"wptb-row\"><td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209); width: 50px;\" data-x-index=\"0\" data-y-index=\"1\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-64\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p>1<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><td class=\"wptb-cell\" style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209);\" data-x-index=\"1\" data-y-index=\"1\" data-wptb-css-td-auto-width=\"true\"><div class=\"wptb-text-container wptb-ph-element wptb-element-text-65\" style=\"color: rgb(74, 85, 104); font-size: 15px;\"><div class=\"\" style=\"position: relative;\"><p>Kurinji (Hills and places around hills) Mostly cold places E.g.
