How it works
Stabilizes eroded areas with appropriate vegetation and works after identifying the cause of the flow.
Agricultural management combines soil protection, efficient use of nutrients and water, pest control and biodiversity conservation.
When does it make sense?
- Cultivation, soil, climate and water availability are known
- Practice can be tested on an appropriate scale
- Performance and impacts are measured without shifting problems
How to apply it
- 1
Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.
- 2
Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.
- 3
Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Better protected soil and water
Lower reliance on inputs
Increased crop resilience
Limitations and precautions
- The benefit must be verified under the actual conditions of application.
- The advantages vary between crops, seasons and regions.
- Production, water consumption and any transfer of impacts should be monitored.
