 ICRISAT. We are extremely thankful to Mr Somnath Roy, Mr S Rao and their team at BAIF

collection. We thank Mr P Parthasarathy Rao, Scientist (Economics), Socioeconomics and Policy

Program, ICRISAT for his comments on an earlier draft. The assistance of Mr S L N Reddy in data

analysis is acknowledged. Ms Sheila Vijayakumar has provided invaluable assistance by editing this

manuscript. We are indebted to Mr P Rama Krishna and Mr K N V Satyanarayana in formatting and

page-setting the manuscript. We are grateful to the farmers and share croppers who spared their time
 to talk to ","ICRISAT’s intervention in the project “Improving Management of Natural Resources for  Sustainable Rainfed Agriculture” funded by the Asian Development Bank aims to increase the
        productivity and sustainability of the medium and high-water holding capacity soils in the
intermediate rainfall ecoregion in India, Vietnam, and Thailand. The study examines the
 productivity of soybean during the 1999 rainy season in one of the benchmark sites in Lateri
 Watershed, Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh, India. The productivity of the owner-operated
      farms is marginally higher at 0.72 t ha-1 compared to 0.68 t ha-1 among share cropper-operated
 farms. The productivity of evaluated trial farms in Lalatora micro-watershed, which is used as a
  demonstration micro-watershed for evaluating improved management practice, has been high at
 1.1 t ha-1 due to the adoption of better input management practices. The profitability for the
 landlords and share croppers is documented and evidence is presented on the exploitative nature
 of the share cropping contracts, especially the 20:80 contract. The low productivity has been due
 to waterlogging which occurred due to heavy rains during the sowing period. The implications of
 the endemic nature of the low productivity under a liberalized trade regime is analyzed and
 suggestions are offered to the stakeholders on the future intervention strategies to tackle the
 problem of rainy season fallow, exploitative land tenancy arrangements, waterlogging, and
 equity issues.
