Fifteen soil profile samples representing the highlands of Purulia, Birbhum, Bardhaman, Bankura and Medinipur districts in red and lateritic zone of West Bengal were collected from 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm depth under rice-vegetable, rice-mustard and rice-fallow cropping systems with a view to assess the predictability of saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soils as influenced by different physical, hydro-physical and chemical properties of the farmlands. | Estimation of saturated hydraulic conductivity of red and lateritic highland soils under diverse land use systems
