"Efficient land water management practice and cropping system for increasing water and crop productivity in semi‐arid tropics"^^ . "In Indian semi-arid tropics (SATs), low water and crop productivity in Vertisols\r\nand associated soils are mainly due to poor land management and erratic and low\r\nrainfall occurrence. This study was conducted from 2014 to 2016 at the ICRISAT\r\nin India to test the effect of broad bed furrows (BBF) as land water management\r\nagainst conventional flatbed planting for improving soil water content (SWC) and\r\nwater and crop productivity of three cropping systems: sorghum [Sorghum bicolor\r\n(L.) Moench]–chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.) and maize (Zea mays)–groundnut\r\n(Arachis hypogaea L.) as sequential and pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)]\r\n+ pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] as intercropping, grown under different\r\nnutrients management involving macronutrients (N, P, and K) only and combined\r\napplication of macro- and micronutrients. The results stated that the SWC in BBF\r\nwas higher over flatbed by 9.35–10.44% in 0- to 0.3-m, 4.56–9.30% in 0.3- to 0.6-m\r\nand 3.85–5.26% in 0.6- to 1.05-m soil depths during the cropping season. Moreover,\r\ndepletion of the soil water through plant uptake was higher in BBF than in flatbed.\r\nAmong the cropping systems, sorghum–chickpea was the best in bringing highest\r\nsystem equivalent yield and water productivity with the combined application of\r\nmacro- and micronutrients. The BBF minimized water stress at critical crop growth\r\nstages leading to increase crop yield and water productivity in SATs. Thus, BBF\r\nalong with the application of macro- and micronutrients could be an adaptation\r\nstrategy to mitigate erratic rainfall due to climate change in SATs."^^ . "2020-04" . . . "112" .
