Description
137Cs radiogenic content in the soil can be used to estimate the rate of erosion/deposition in an area occurring since 1950's, by comparing the content of the 137Cs in observed site with those in a stable reference site. The experiment aimed to investigate the influence of cultivation type for erosion/deposition rate using 137Cs method. A study site was long cultivation area with slope angle < 10o and length 2 km located in Bojong-Ciawi. For this purpose, the top of a slop was chosen for references site and three plot sites were selected plot I uses simple cultivation, plot II uses simple cultivation with ridge and furrow, and plot III uses machine cultivation. The results showed that net erosion/deposition for the plot I, II and III were-25 t/ha/yr, 24 t/ha/yr and -58t/ha/yr, respectively. Cultivation site white ridge and furrow could avoid soil erosion.(author)
