| dc.description.abstract | An experiment on 'Agrotechniques for soil conservation in taungya systems' was conducted at the Instructional Farm, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara for a period of two years from May 1984 to April 1986. The objectives of the experiment were to asses the run-off, soil and nutrient losses as influenced by the important taungya practices and to evolve economically and ecologically viable agroforestry measures for soil conservation. Eucalyptus , the main tree component , was intercropped with the usually cultivated taungya crops of cassava and rice . The efficiency of cassava planting on ridges, grass farming and grass stripping was also investigated. There were seven treatments replicated thrice in RBD. Daily run-off and soil loss were quantified by installing multi-slot device consisting of 47 slots and brick masonry settling tank specifically designed for the project. | en_US |
