The agricultural practices of the Native Americans inhabiting the American Southwest, which includes the states of Arizona and New Mexico plus portions of surrounding states and neighboring Mexico, are influenced by the low levels of precipitation in the region. Irrigation and several techniques of water harvesting and conservation were essential for successful agriculture. To take advantage of limited water, the southwestern Native Americans utilized irrigation canals, terraces (trincheras), rock mulches, and floodplain cultivation. Success in agriculture enabled some native Americans to live in communities which numbered in the thousands as compared to their former lives as hunter-gatherers in which their bands numbered only a few dozen.

has abstract	La agricultura en el suroeste de Estados Unidos prehistórico fueron las prácticas agrícolas de los indígenas de América que habitan el suroeste de Estados Unidos, que incluye los estados de Arizona y Nuevo México, además de partes de los estados circundantes y del vecino México, están influenciadas por los bajos niveles de precipitación de la región. El riego y varias técnicas de recolección y conservación del agua eran esenciales para el éxito de la agricultura. Para aprovechar el agua limitada, los nativos americanos del suroeste utilizaron canales de riego, terrazas (trincheras), mantillos de roca y cultivos en llanuras de inundación. El éxito de la agricultura permitió a algunos nativos americanos vivir en comunidades que podían llegar a tener hasta 40.000 personas, en comparación con su vida anterior como cazadores-recolectores, en la que sus bandos solamente contaban con unas pocas docenas. El maíz, el cultivo dominante, se introdujo desde Mesoamérica y se cultivó por primera vez en el suroeste hacia el año 2100 a. C. Posteriormente se desarrollaron culturas sedentarias basadas en la agricultura, como los hohokam, los mogollón, los anasazi y los pataya. Los retos medioambientales de la agricultura en el suroeste provocaron la desaparición o la evolución de muchas sociedades agrícolas que en su día tuvieron éxito, pero dejaron tras de sí impresionantes pruebas arqueológicas de su existencia. Algunas culturas agrícolas, como los pueblo de Estados Unidos y los yaqui y mayo de México, fueron duraderas y sobrevivieron hasta el siglo XXI.

Success in agriculture enabled some native Americans to live in communities which numbered in the thousands as compared to their former lives as hunter-gatherers in which their bands numbered only a few dozen. Maize (corn), the dominant crop, was introduced from Mesoamerica and cultivated in the present-day Southwest U.S. by 2100 BCE at the latest. Non-migrant cultures based on farming developed afterwards including the Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Puebloans, and Patayan. The environmental challenges of agriculture in the Southwest resulted in the demise or evolution of many once-successful agricultural societies, but they left behind impressive archeological evidence of their existence. Some agricultural cultures, such as the Pueblos of the United States and the Yaqui and Mayo of Mexico, were durable and survive into the 21st century. (en)
