Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of soil moisture variability on plant productivity. This was done using an integrated approach that combined quantitative research on soil water issues with crop yields and farmer characteristics. Soil moisture measurements were collected from five locations using multiple sampling methods, surveys, and interviews with local farmers. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between soil moisture levels and crop yields, indicating that optimum moisture conditions are associated with increased yields. Qualitative findings may shed light on farmer's adaptation strategies and their perceptions of soil moisture management practices. The findings of this study highlight the importance of soil moisture in influencing agricultural yields and the need to adapt soil and water management strategies to unique conditions. These findings improve the current understanding of the complex dynamics of soil moisture changes. They provide practical ideas to increase agricultural livelihoods and influence the development of sustainable land management policies and practices.
