Information
Erosion and productivity of vegetable systems on sloping volcanic ash-derived Philippine soils (Poudel et al., 1999).
Level 1 General description
Purpose
To identify appropriate management practices for sloping intensified vegetable systems on the Phillippines.
Methods (brief)
This study monitored runoff, soil and nutrients under four 4 management practices:
- Contouring;
- Strip cropping;
- High-value contour hedgerows; and
- Traditional up-and-down system
Key findings
Traditional up-and-down system recorded the greatest runoff, soil and nutrient loss of the four treatments, while the remaining three treatments recorded comparative values.
