Title: CONTROL OF SOIL SUBJECT TO WIND EROSION
Accession Number: 00204571
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE PROTECTION OF LIGHT SOILS, SANDS AND DISTURBED SOILS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WIND EROSION IS DISCUSSED. PERMANENT CONTROL REQUIRES THAT THE SOIL SURFACE BE PROTECTED BY A COVER OF LIVING PLANTS OR BY DEAD VEGETATION CONTINUOUSLY REPLENISHED. SURFACE PROTECTION CAN BE GAINED BY EMPLOYING ONE OR MORE SOIL-CONSERVING PRACTICES SUCH AS STUBBLEMULCHING, COVER CROPPING, STRIP-CROPPING, WINDBREAKS, ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT HERBACEOUS OR WOODY PLANT COVER, AND MULCHING. MULCHING, ESTABLISHING PERMANENT PLANT COVER, COVER CROPPING, AND WINDBREAKS ARE DISCUSSED.
