The soils in the rainfed region are at the verge of degradation by virtue of several regions. The major
reasons which degrade soil quality and deteriorate its productive capacity could be: (i) washing away of topsoil
and organic matter associated with clay size fractions due to water erosion, (ii) intensive deep tillage and
inversion tillage with moldboard and disc plough resulting in (a) fast decomposition of remnants of crop residues
which is catalyzed by high temperature, (b) breaking of stable soil aggregates and aggravating the process of
oxidation of entrapped organic C and (c) disturbance to the habitat of soil microflora and fauna and loss in
microbial diversity, (iii) less use of fertilizers and widening of plant nutrients removal-use gap , (iv) mining and
other commercial activities such as use of top soil for other than agricultural purpose, (v) mono cropping without
following any suitable rotation, (vi) nutrient imbalance caused due to disproportionate use of primary, secondary
and micronutrients, (vii) no or low use of organic manures and poor recycling of farm based crop residues (viii)
no or low green manuring (ix) poor nutrient use efficiency (x) indiscriminate use of other agricultural inputs such
as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, etc., , (xi) water logging, salinity and alkalinity and acid soils.As a result of
several above-mentioned reasons, soils encounter diversity of constraints broadly on account of physical,
chemical and biological soil health and ultimately low productivity. Amidst climatic variation and climatic change,
there are likelihoods of occurring more degradation of soil resource. Under such situation, conservation
agriculture and other resource conservation practices have proved quite effectivein protecting thesoil
fromfurther degradation andin restoration of soil quality. This review paper deals withdifferent aspectsof soil
quality management through conservation agriculture and other resource conservation techniques
