Hardcover. Condition: New. Soil degradation and water table depletion have become serious threats to lives and livelihoods of humanity across all the continents. India is no exception; in fact experiencing a distress scenario, more due to heavy population pressure. Drought prone areas of the country are the worst affected resulting in the loss of agriculture-based livelihoods. To arrest such degradation and depletion, several programmes and policy initiatives of soil and water/moisture conservation were undertaken, mostly in public lands, by Central and State Governments and Non-Governmental Organisations in India. Subject experts have analysed the impact of such programmes and policy initiatives. However, important issues that needed closer analysis is rather about the efforts and the impact of soil and moisture conservation initiatives undertaken in private farmlands, as agriculture-based livelihoods thoroughly depend on private farmlands. The present work mainly aims in delineating the soil and moisture conservation practices adopted in the farmlands by the cultivators and the State, understanding the gaps in those practices, and suggesting appropriate soil and moisture conservation measures and policy initiatives. This book also documents several of the indigenous soil and moisture conservation measures that remained within the cultivator families. Due to such in-depth coverage, this book serves as a toolkit for those who entered into the science of soil and moisture conservation afresh.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Practical guidance for turning soil data into drought-ready management decisionsThis book brings together soil health mapping, microbiome management, root-system analysis, and water-retention modeling in one field-focused resource. It is designed for agronomists, researchers, consultants, and farm managers who need a structured way to measure soil function, compare zones, and act on results with confidence.Readers are guided through the full workflow, from defining objectives and building a sampling plan, to laboratory testing, spatial analysis, and field validation. The chapters emphasize measurement quality, traceability, and reproducibility, so that soil health assessments can be compared across seasons, sites, and treatments.What the book covers- Sampling design that preserves microbiome integrity and supports reliable soil property data.- Physical, chemical, and biological indicators that inform soil function and drought resilience.- Geospatial mapping methods for building management zones and checking map uncertainty.- Root analytics that connect architecture, exudation proxies, and rhizosphere activity to water availability.- Water-retention models and hydraulic parameters translated into practical irrigation and coverage constraints.- Biological inputs such as composts, biochar, and inoculants, matched to soil limitations and crop needs.- Microbiome engineering strategies using residues, tillage, cover crops, and nutrient management.- Verification plans, statistical comparison methods, and reporting templates for field teams and stakeholders.Each section is written to support real decisions, not just measurement for its own sake. The book shows how to combine map layers, root traits, microbial functions, and water-holding behavior into zone-specific actions that can improve performance under dry conditions.Ideal for anyone building precision soil programs, developing on-farm trials, or creating data systems for repeatable soil health improvement. The final chapters also provide practical protocols for sample storage, bioinformatics, geospatial data management, and audit-ready recordkeeping, making the book especially useful for teams that need both scientific rigor and day-to-day usability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Rainfall levels are rarely optimal, but there are hundreds of things you can do to efficiently conserve and use the water you do have and to reduce the impact of drought on your soil, crops, livestock, and farm or ranch ecosystem. Author Dale Strickler introduces you to the same innovative systems he used to transform his own drought-stricken family farm in Kansas into a thriving, water-wise, and profitable enterprise, maximizing healthy cropland, pasture, and water supply. Ranging from simple, short-term projects such as installing rain-collection ollas to long-term land-management planning strategies, Strickler's methods show how to get more water into the soil, keep it in the soil, and help plants and livestock access it.…
