Soybean–chickpea rotation on Vertic Inceptisols: I. Effect of soil depth and landform on light interception, water balance and crop yields

Vertic Inceptisols are prone to land degradation because of excessive run-off and soil erosion during the rainy season. Productivity of soybean-based systems on these soils needs to be improved and sustained by better management of natural resources, particularly soil and water. During 1995–1997 a f...

Zusammenfassung:Vertic Inceptisols are prone to land degradation because of excessive run-off and soil erosion during the rainy season. Productivity of soybean-based systems on these soils needs to be improved and sustained by better management of natural resources, particularly soil and water. During 1995–1997 a field study was conducted in Peninsular India on a Vertic Inceptisol watershed to study the effect of two soil depths, namely shallow (
