Soil Pore Characteristics, Hydraulic Conductivity and Soil Bulk Density as Influenced by Agroforestry and Grass Buffer Conservation Practices
Despite improvements in the use of soil conservation practices, crop rotation and nutrient management programs, significant concern still exists regarding soil erosion and nutrient losses in runoff from row crop production. In the US, states are required to implement water quality standards based on USEPA guidelines or other scientifically defensible methods (Ice and Binkley, 2003). Agroforestr...
متن کاملValuing Soil Conservation Benefits of Agroforestry Practices
Although advocates of agroforestry have promoted soil conservation as one of its primary benefits, empirical estimates of these benefits have been lacking due to temporal and spatial complexity of agroforestry systems and soil resource dynamics. This study aims to reduce this gap by designing and testing a three stage farm level productivity methodology for economic evaluation of soil conservat...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Adoption of Conservation Measures in Soil Erosion Control: A Case of Orchard Lands of Chehel-Chay Watershed
1- INTRODUCTION Soil as one of the most important inputs in agricultural production process plays an important role in the quality of production operation, food security and sustainable development. On the other hand, soil erosion as one of the environmental agriculture issues has been intensified with increasing population and transforming to intensive forms of agriculture in recent years. Mi...
متن کاملolive mill by-products application: organic olive orchard yield performance and soil fertility
seasonal accumulation and incorrect disposal of olive mill by-products may be detrimental to the environment. conversely, their proper recycling as soil amendments may be a sustainable solution. therefore, the objectives of this three-year field trial were: (i) investigating the effects of olive mill wastewater (omw) and pomace compost (pc) on plant nutritional status and yield in an organic ol...
متن کاملAdoption of Soil Conservation Practices: A Revealed Preference Approach
The existing empirical literature on farmers’ use of soil-conserving, runoff-reducing farming practices, while sizable, contains relatively little information on the influence of cost on adoption decisions and on how farmers combine multiple practices into an overall conservation package. Such knowledge is important in light of current interest in reorienting agricultural policy toward environm...
