This farmer-to-farmer video, developed through funding by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) by CIAT and Agro-Insight, explains in a clear and simple way the agricultural technique to plant grass strips on sloping land to prevent soil erosion. The videos are prepared to deepen farmer’s understanding of the technical aspects of improved soil management, and at the same time, to prompt discussion within the local context.

Thank you Adeyayo - it is important to note that this technique can make a big difference in reducing soil erosion even if the slope is not very steep.

Is that crop between the grass strips? I think its root is used for food. Very nice technology. I am much impressed.

Yes Bhaksar, it is cassava. Which has also been mixed at times with groundnut or cowpea, as you can see in this accompanying video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JyiMD6Q0fU8.html

Awesome, what is the name of the grass?

@carlvanmeerbeek7327 3 года назад

I believe it is Vetiver

@Farmer_Paul Год назад

This cannot be vetiver if she is collecting and selling seed. Vetiver does not produce seed. This looks like panicum maximum, guinea grass.

Vetiver grass is often used for this purpose. But in this video, the species used is Paspalum atratum - preferred by growers in Northern Vietnam because it can withstand cold winter temperatures and makes a good feed for cattle or buffalo.
