Development of degraded ravine lands of Western India using Sapota (Achras zapota) plantation with terracing vs. trenching-on-slope-based conservation measures

Raj Kumar et al.

Summary: The study showed that bench terracing is the best soil and water conservation measure for restoring highly degraded ravines in Western India, promoting the growth of Sapota and reducing runoff and soil loss. When terracing is not feasible, trenching along with Sapota plantation can also be an effective step in restoring these ravines.
