Singh and Joshi (1997) observed that row intercropping of pearlmillet with clusterbean (1:1) and
strip cropping (4:4) with 50 per cent of the sole pearlmillet population produced 35.
2002) concluded that among different methods of intercropping,
strip cropping has potential to increase crop yield by suppressing pest outbreak.
Small fields,
strip cropping and hedgerows whose natural plant/animal relationships are in balance help to maintain a diverse population of organisms.
The complete involvement of family members to ensure the basic principles of enhancing the ecological diversity through mixed cropping,
strip cropping, crop rotation, intercropping, incorporation of livestock management etc.
2005) recommended
strip cropping the only way to manage the aphids in wheat crop.
Measures, which can control erosion, include vegetative cover, contour farming, controlling down slope runoff by diversions, grassed waterways,
strip cropping and terracing, among others.
Great Plains into a vast desert was a traumatic experience that led to revolutionary changes in American agricultural practices, including the planting of tree shelterbelts (rows of trees planted beside fields to slow wind and thus reduce wind erosion) and
strip cropping (the planting of wheat on alternate strips with fallowed land each year).
Types of intercropping include mixed intercropping and
strip cropping.
The farm is demonstrating crop rotation and contour
strip cropping to show that cultivation should be done cross-slope with grass buffers to minimize soil erosion.
CSP payments may be made for structural or land management practices, such as
strip cropping to reduce erosion.
Supporting practices such as
strip cropping or contour plowing will reduce erosion, the extent of which is reflected in published tables from the USDA that take into account the land slope, length of slope, and width of strip crop.
It is most beneficial in climates with lower precipitation, or when used in conjunction with other practices such as
strip cropping, terracing, or ridge tillage.
