|
A rotational system that
starts with a crop rotation like corn-corn-hay-hay-hay.
|
|
Rotation is grown in strips
so that the crops progress through the rotation on each strip.
|
|
Strips are alternated so
that the more erodible strips are placed between less erodible strips.
|
|
Example: c-c-h-h-h
|
|
h-h-c-c-h
|
|
c-c-h-h-h
|
|
h-h-c-c-h
|
|
Full credit is taken for
deposition that occurs with rotational strip cropping.
|
|
Dense vegetation strips
spread runoff reducing its erosivity
|
|
System generally reduces
ephemeral gully erosion.
|
|
Should be laid out very
carefully to be on contour.
