Abstract
The principal types of water erosion on non‐irrigated agricultural lands are described. A generalized soil erosion map indicating extent and degree of erosion is presented. Selected summary data on rates of soil loss from 0.01‐acre plots in grasses, continuous row crops, and adapted crop rotations are given from nine experiment stations in important farming areas. Factors influencing rates of erosion are enumerated and discussed briefly. The objective of erosion control on agricultural lands is specified and some of the methods and principles of erosion control are listed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
