abstract: Associated red and black soils are common in the Deccan
plateau and the Indian peninsula. The red soils
are formed due to the progressive landscape reduction
process and black soils due to the aggradation processes;
and they are often spatially associated maintaining
their typical characteristics over the years.
These soils are subject to changes due to age-long
management practices and the other factors like climate
change. To maintain soil quality, it is essential to
monitor changes in soil properties preferably using
benchmark (BM) soil sites. One such example lies at
the International Crops Research Institute for the
Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) farm in Patancheru,
India where red (Patancheru) and black (Kasireddipalli)
soils co-exist in close association under almost
similar topographical condition, which also represents
very commonly occurring spatially associated soils.
The database generated over the years for these two
dominant soils that are under cultural practices for
the last 2–3 decades, helps us understand the relative
changes in properties over a time scale. To do this
exercise, we revisited the BM spots as the data on the
original characterization of these soils since the development of the farm, are available, for comparative
evaluation. We also attempted to make prediction of
future changes in properties for these two important
and representative black and red soils of the ICRISAT
farm in Patancheru, India.
