P, S and Mo application significantly increased the canopy, nodule count, yield of rainfed black gram, yield of silcceeding safflower and reduced splash loss and conserved more soil water. Water stable aggregates, infiltration rate, organic carbon, total N, available P, K, S and Mo in soil increased considerably after the harvest of black gram but decreased after the harvest of succeeding safflower. Plant canopy showed significant positive relationship with nodule count, soil water conservation, water stable aggregates and infiltration rate but showed significant negative relationship with splash loss.
