Biological Methods for Erosion Control: Contour cultivation and Cropping Systems

Biological Methods for Erosion Control: The methods used for controlling soil erosion through crops or vegetation and through agronomical practices are known as biological methods. The methods discussed herein are applicable both for controlling water and wind erosion. The biological methods for controlling water erosion consist of: (1) Contour cultivation, (2) Cropping systems, and 1. Contour Cultivation: Contour cultivation means [...]

How to Control Soil Erosion at Hill Slopes? | Conservations | Soil Science

The upper reaches of a watershed usually consist of hilly areas. These areas have an undulating topography and are foci for soil erosion. In areas with steep slopes and subjected to soil erosion vegetation do not get established. Due to lack of vegetative cover soil erosion is accelerated transporting large quantities of silt into the streams below. The uncontrolled runoff [...]
