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.
