Napier grass strips control soil erosion on annual and perennial cropland on moderately-angled to highly-angled slopes.
Rotational grazing by improved goats variety enhances/ increases soil fertility, biodiversity and production of pastures and generates farmyard manure applied on cropland.
Laying grass (Poaceae) on perennial cropped land to reduce weeds, retain soil moisture and improve soil fertility.
The technology involves growing of Mangoes (Mangifera indica) and Oranges (Citrus sinensis) in the same field with the aim of conserving the environment, protecting soil from erosion, and generating income from the sale of fruits.
Run off water from a hill is harnessed and concentrated in a banana plantation using diversion and retention ditches respectively.
Pine tree forests have been strategically planted on previously bare ridges and slopes to mitigate mass soil movement.
Stall-fed livestock production is an efficient method to produce organic fertilizers (manure) for the conservation and improvement of soil fertility.
Soil erosion control for annual crops in flat land using intercropping.
Application of animal manure on citrus trees (citrus sinensis) for improving soil productivity. Every beginning of season (March and August) 40 kg of animal manure are applied, 60 cm away from the tree trunk, using the ring method to improve soil fertility for increased yields and farm income.
Dairy cattle (Friesian) are grazed on indigenous pastures to promotes conservation of the indigenous grass species (guinea grass), which protects the soil against soil erosion and promotes biodiversity.
