"Kothapally watershed is a typical representative of rain-fed (800 mm rainfall) semi-arid tropics (SAT) with\r\nvarying soil depth in the watershed and widespread soil degradation as the major challenge coupled with low\r\ncrop yields and family incomes. Before the onset of initiative during 1999, soil health mapping and baseline\r\nsurveys showed varying soil depth in fields at different topo-sequence, macro-/micronutrient deficiencies\r\nalong with low soil carbon (C) levels and heavy soil loss through erosion that compromised with crop\r\nproduction in the watershed. Inappropriate fertilizer management decisions leading to negative budget for\r\nprimary nutrients in major crops/cropping systems highlighted suboptimal fertilizer use. Unawareness about\r\nmicro-/secondary nutrient deficiencies like sulphur (S), boron (B) and zinc (Zn) and lack of addition of such\r\nfertilizers contributed to low crop yields and declining fertilizer and water use efficiency. Farmers\r\nparticipatory trials highlighted yield loss of 13–39% in crops like sorghum and maize in the absence of\r\ndeficient micro-/secondary nutrient fertilizers. Recycling of on-farm wastes through vermicomposting and\r\nbiomass generation using N-rich Gliricidia on farm boundaries were promoted for fertilizer savings and crop\r\nyield benefit alongside soil carbon building for developing resilience. The impact of integrated soil health\r\nmanagement practices cumulatively observed over 13 years was demonstrated during 2012 soil health\r\nmapping that showed improved mean level of soil organic C; available nutrients, viz. phosphorus (P), B, Zn\r\nand S; and significantly reduced number of fields with low nutrient/C levels. Along with yield advantage, soil\r\nloss was significantly reduced from 3.48 t ha in untreated area to 1.62 t ha in treated watershed area."^^ . "2020-01" . . . "Springer Nature"^^ . .
