Publishcation Main Content(highlights):
• Soil erosion was seriously reduced by complimenting VGS with MPD on sloping lands. • Slope is a major factor controlling water erosion under maize cultivation. • Interaction of VGS with MPD increased maize yield by 64% than MPD alone. • VGS at 5 m intervals with MPD of 53,333 ha-1 is recommended for soil erosion control.
