Description Although Vertisols and associated soils in Lalatora, Madhya Pradesh, India are a productive group of soils, these soils have several constraints to high agricultural productivity. Low cropping intensity, waterlogging during the rainy season, and lack of farmers’ inability to use modern technology are the major constraints. On-farm studies made during 1999–2001 showed that use of improved varieties of
crops such as soybean and chickpea along with improved water harvesting and nutrient management (including application of micronutrients) and integrated pest management significantly increased crop productivity and income of the farmers. There is a need to further test the package of practices for improving productivity and farm income
