abstract: The review o f research results on Indian major soil types under semi-arid
tropics (SAT) indicates that climate change from humid to arid occurred in the
Peninsular regions o f India during the Holocene period. This change is being
realized in the rise in mean annual temperature (MAT) and decrease in mean
annual rainfall (MAR). The prevailing arid climatic adversities favoured the
sequestration o f inorganic carbon as CaC03 with concomitant development of
soil sodicity in major soil types o f India, representing regressive pedogenesis.
As a result, crop productivity in these soils often has reduced to less than 50%.
Thus the regressive pedogenetic processes under SAT environments pose a
threat to agriculture being an unfavourable natural endowment that will ever
demand for extra resources for raising crops (especially the winter crops) by
the resource poor farmers in the naturally degraded soils.
