The capacity for better moisture storage and its retention by the soil is a key factor for avoiding crop failures in drought-prone and water-limited environments. Such properties of soils are mainly dependent upon their texture and structure, which
can be improved by adopting moisture conserving practices like addition of organic matter, deep ploughing, field bunding, mulching, weed control, low crop density, etc.
