Land development is one of the prime components of sustainable farming. Unevenness of agricultural fields leads to the in-efficient use of irrigation water, which in turn reduces the yield and farm income. Levelling index, which is a dynamic factor, determines the quality and accuracy of land levelling. Land development/levelling is having enormous impact on moisture storage and distribution in the field both spatially and temporally, crop growth, yields and irrigation water saving. | Investigations on the effect of land leveling indices on soil moisture distribution in cotton fields
