Management of Soils To Conserve Moisture
A condensed summary from Farmer's Bulletin 266 on soil management for moisture conservation in semi arid regions. It covers capillary versus permanent water, soil structure, mulch effects, and tillage practices to keep moisture, with emphasis on loamy, well-pulverized soil and appropriate cultivation tools to minimize evaporation. It discusses dust mulch versus soil mulch, and the impact of rainfall patterns in plains regions on moisture retention and crop success.
