Soil Loss Estimation: Measurement and Universal Soil Loss Equation! Soil losses occur from areas subjected to different types of erosion. The soil loss varies with the type of erosion and it is also influenced by all the factors that affect erosion. Along with the soil losses, loss of plant nutrients also occurs. Estimation of soil losses under a given set [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Applications of the Universal Soil Loss Equation 2. Limitations of the Universal Soil Loss Equation 3. Conversion. Applications of the Universal Soil Loss Equation: There are following three main applications of the universal soil loss equation, given as: 1. It predicts the soil loss. 2. It helps in selection of the agricultural [...]
The Universal Soil Loss Equation is a powerful tool. It is in use by soil conservationists from last three decades for on-farm planning of soil conservation practices, inventorying and assessing the regional and national impacts of soil erosion and developing as well as implementing public policy related to soil conservation. Over the last several years, a co-operative effort between scientists [...]
