Past and current soil management and conservation technologies were reviewed to assess their effectiveness in managing soil erosion in the tropics. Slope management emerged as the most critical component determining success or failure of efforts to counteract soil losses and productivity decline. Slope management based on physical structures was found to be ineffective, expensive, and time-consuming in controlling soil erosion. Slope management, combining simple cropping practices such as contour, strip, or alley cropping with soil management practices including zero or minimum tillage, mulching, and green or organic manuring, was found to be highly effective in managing runoff and soil losses. |
