Abstract
Upland crops of sorghum and mungbean were grown after lowland rice during the post-rainy season on a clay soil at the IRRI farm. Two levels of tillage (no-tillage vs. complete seedbed tillage) were compared at 3 water table levels, namely: shallow (75 plus or minus 25 cm), deep (125 plus or minus 25 cm), and intermediate. Measurements were made on rooting depth and distribution, soil water content and pressure changes as a function of depth and time, crop water extraction, and grain and dry matter yields. The results suggested practical implication of crop selection and soil management during the post-rainy season for upland crops grown in the presence of a ground water table
