Multiple Impact of Integrated Watershed Management in Low Rainfall Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study from Eastern Rajasthan, India
The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded
natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is ...
Integrated runoff and soil loss monitoring unit for small agricultural watersheds
Runoff and sediment flow behaviors from small agricultural watersheds on Alfisols and Vertic Inceptisols,
and their implications for the design of a runoff and soil loss monitoring unit are discussed. It was
observed that ...
Inter-row tillage for improved soil and water conservation and crop yields on crusted Alfisols
In the semi-arid tropics (SAT), 33% areas are oc- cupied by Alfisols and related soils. In SAT these soils have low structural stability and thereby tend to form seal and crusts at the surface. Due to this a large proportion ...
Managing soil fertility constraints in market-led shift to high value agriculture for benefiting smallholders in the semi-arid tropics
Low productivity and cultivation of low value crops in
the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is the main cause for
poor farm-based livelihoods. Poverty leading to low risktaking
ability of farmers and production related
constraints ...
