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.
