Description A host of best water and soil management practices (BMPs) hold promise in addressing water scarcity and land degradation to enable sustainable crop intensification in smallholder farming systems.

OBJECTIVE

This study quantifies the effect of BMPs on crop productivity, income, water saving and water balance components and identifies gaps for future research.


METHODS

This paper synthesizes the performance of BMPs and the existing data gap by reviewing 108 published studies from the Indian subcontinent which capture a diverse range of rainfall and cropping systems.
