In the current agricultural environment, the emphasis is on maximizing the water productivity within the land use in order to feed the growing population soil moisture conservation is a key component of raising water productivity. the preservation of soil moisture particularly in rainfed and dry land agriculture is a crucial component to prevent moisture deficiency in soil. Although the rainfall in arid and semi-arid areas is sufficient for crop growth, dry spells with unusual rainfall distribution during the crop’s critical growth stages can reduce the yield by 50% to 60%. Therefore, some efficient soil moisture conservation techniques like mulching, deep tillage, compartmental bunding, and basin listing are to be adopted for successful crop production in order to prevent yield loss and maintain crop stands with the maximum yield. These methods for conserving soil moisture can also enhance soil qualities and lessen soil erosion and degradation.
