Vegetative method is a way of land management by using

plants as a means of soil conservation.

These ground cover plants in addition to preventing or


controlling erosion hazards can also function to improve
soil structure

Agroforestry is one form of soil conservation effort that


combines tree plants, or annual crops with other
commodity crops grown jointly or alternately.

The bigger slope of a land, the risk of erosion due to soil


processing is also greater.

Intercropping is a mixture of annual crops with annual


crops.

From the terms of soil conservation , intercropping aims to


improve the interception and intensity of land surface
closure against direct exposure of rainwater grains thereby
minimizing the risk of erosion

Alley cropping system is a system where the erosion control


fence is a well planted line following the contour line, so
that the forming of alleys and seasonal plants are in the
intercrop of the fence. This system is suitable for
application on dry land with 3-40% slopes.

The level of competition for the needs of nutrients, water,


sunlight and space to grow with alley plants is not so high.
