The results show that both ridge tillage and the grass barrier strips significantly reduce soil loss.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightHumid zonesSoil degradationSoil erosionSoil conservationTropical zonesConservation tillageTillage erosionRidge tillageGrass barrier stripsLand degradationAnimal powered-tillageHumid tropicsField ScaleRidge tillage and contour natural grass barrier strips reduce tillage erosionAbstractCopyright 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
