1. Contour Planting: A Strategy To Reduce Soil Erosion On Steep Slopes

  Practices that combine GPS-based guidance for terrain contouring and tillage for runoff detention have potential to increase water infiltration and reduce runoff.  The objective of this study was to investigate contour planting as a means to reduce soil erosion on steep slopes of the Columbia Plateau dryland wheat region.  An exploratory field study was conducted on a Ritzville...
