Developments in soil conservation systems in rubber plantations
Material type:
TextPublication details: Journal of the National Institute of Plantation Management 2000Description: 33-42Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Soil erosion losses and surface run-off depend on the slope of land, length of slope, erodibility of soil and rainfall pattern. Clearing and planting operations have to be timed to fit in with monsoonal rains to prevent soil loss by erosion. Contour planting, construction of drains and terraces should be done for the effective control of run-off and soil losses. Beneficial effects of ground cover management and mulching on soil conservation are also confirmed.
