| Abstract/Contents: | "Three erosion control methods of using a tree hedge, a grass hedge, and a combination of the two were used on an alfisol in central Kenya. Soil loss, biomass yield, and profile survey of the runoff plots were measured during two cropping seasons. Average cumulative soil loss from plots with hedges of tree, combination, grass, and non hedged control were 5.6, 7.4, 11.2, and 10.9 Mg ha-1, respectively. Topographic survey of the plots showed a near uniform terrace formation and decrease in slope of about 0.2 % for all hedges, but an increase in slope for the control plots by the same magnitude. Small-scale farmers in the highlands of Central Kenya who practice a mixed farming system could use this soil conservation technology as a step towards sustainable farming practices." |
