Resumen

Descripción

Soil conservation is crucial to sustainable agriculture. This technology involves growing row crops, forages, small grains or fallow in a systematic arrangement of equal width strips across a field. This arrangement of strips reduces water and wind-induced soil erosion and reduces the transport of sediment and other water-borne contaminants so the water quality can be maintained; and thus increases soil moisture.
