Types of Strip Cropping

Contour Strip Cropping

In contour strip cropping there is a layout in which the crops follow a definite rotational sequence, and tillage is held closely to the exact contour of the field.

Field Strip Cropping

When using the field strip cropping practice, strips of a uniform width are placed across the general slope of the land. When used with adequately grassed waterways, the strips may be used where topography is too irregular to make contour stripping practical.

Buffer Strip Cropping

The buffer strip cropping technique can be employed by using strips of grass or legume crops laid out between contour strips of crops in irregular rotations. These strips may be even or irregular in width or placed on critical slope areas of the field.
