There is a great scope for innovations in this preferred field as conservation of soil against sheet erosion along with optimal use and saving of water without wastage is  of utmost priority in hot moist semi arid and sub humid tropics. here conservation of SOC, ARRESTING DEVELOPMENT OF SALINITY, SODICITY AND CALCAREOUSNESS ALSO gains momentum. In hot humid perhumid situations bench terracing, protection of soils from high topsoil and subsoil acidity, loss of carbon stocks, P fixation and low K reserves and Fe-Al toxicity AND MULTINUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES..

Acid sulfate, acid saline and submergence are the key issues on coastal landforms along with influence of brackish water

Success of conservation agriculture is difficult as compared to tropical regions in general and rained tropics in particular. But this can be made successful with addition of higher residue to the soil and integrate soil moisture conservation practices and weed management
