Several species of species from Izeleptus, Bakia, Cassia and Israel, Australia, America, Russia, Zimbabwe, Chile, Peru and Sudan have been tried in the Thar Desert.

Agriculture
Tharar is one of the most heavily populated desert areas of the world, where its inhabitants are the main occupations of agriculture and animal husbandry. Agriculture is not a reliable proposition in this area, because, after the rainy season, at least one-third of the crop fails. Animal husbandry is the most viable model for dry, dry-prone areas, linked to trees and grasses, vegetables or fruit trees. This area has to face constant drought. Due to exaggerated due to high animal population, erosion of wind and water, mining and other industries, the serious land has declined.
Agricultural production is mainly from Kharif crops, which are grown in the summer season and are exempted in June and July. After this, harvesting is done in September and October and includes millet, dwar, jowar (Sorghum vulgar), maize (Zia mei), sesame and peanuts. In the past few decades [when?] The development of irrigation facilities including canals and tube wells have changed the crop pattern along with the desert districts of Rajasthan, now along with cash crops Rabi crops including wheat, mustard, and cumin seeds have been produced.
The Thar region of Rajasthan is a major opium production and consumption area. Indira Gandhi Canal irrigates north-west Rajasthan, while the Indian government has started a centrally sponsored desert development program on the basis of watershed management for the purpose of preventing and improving the spread of the desert.
