Inter-row tillage for improved soil and water conservation and crop yields on crusted Alfisols
2013
Agricultural Sciences
In the semi-arid tropics (SAT), 33% area are occupied 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 of the rain that falls on Alfisols during the early part of the rainy season, is normally lost as runoff thus causing high soil loss as well as moisture stress to crops. Two tillage studies were conducted first at plot scale (320 m 2 ) during 1991-95 and second at small
