Abstract
A field experiment on sandy-loam soil (Alfisol) during the rainy seasons of 1990-91 at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, with groundnuts cv. JL 24 evaluated 10 soil-moisture conservation methods to study relative efficiency of soil-moisture conservation methods. Plough furrows at 30, 60 or 90 cm intervals were effective in conserving the soil moisture and gave high pod yields (2014, 1894 and 1834 kg/ha, respectively) compared with flat bed (1460 kg), ridges and furrows (1518 kg), beds and furrows (1706 kg) and dead furrows (1617-1619 kg)
