Under the impact of raindrops the structural instability leads to formation of a seal on the surface. The surface seals rcducc infiltration and increase runoff (Moore, 1981 1. As a result, plant-available water in the profile gets reduced. In most of the SAT Alfisols crop yields arc constrained by the plant-available water. date: 1994 date_type: published pagerange: 1287-1294 event_title: 8th ISCO Conference event_location: New Delhi, India event_dates: 1994 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Effect+of+Soil+Management+Practices+on+Runoff+and+Infiltration+Processes+of+Hardsetting+Alfisol+in+Semi-Arid+Tropics&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_yl related_url_type: author citation: Rao, K P C and Cogle, A L and Srinivasan, S T and Yule, D F and Smith, G D (1994) Effect of Soil Management Practices on Runoff and Infiltration Processes of Hardsetting Alfisol in Semi-Arid Tropics.
