A calibrated cropping systems model was used to provide long-term biophysical responses of various land managements at two differing semi-arid tropic environments in India. Organic based practices such as farmyard manure or straw amendments and perennial pastures reduced runoff by between 50 and 87%, and are optimum for in situ, water and soil conservation. A consequence of the reduced runoff was an increase in drainage below the root zone. Furthermore, the detrimental effects of cropping on high slopes and long slope lengths showed that it is not feasible to crop on slopes greater than 5%. Our study did not incorporate farmer preferences for land management, but the results can still be used as an integral part of decision making for optimum land management
