Abstract
Abstract. Hard‐setting soils are widespread in dry regions. Their properties are described and a physical explanation for hard‐setting behaviour is given. The limitations on soil management and physical fertility caused by hard‐setting depend on timing of rainfall or irrigation with respect to cultivations and crop development, and much research is needed to quantify reductions in crop yield imposed by these limitations.
