In agriculture, surveying is required to prepare topographical maps that indicate variations in the level of the land's surface. Topographical maps are necessary as a base for the preparation of research station maps which include layout of field, buildings, roads, and soil conservation measures.

Tropical soils are generally low in fertility, physically fragile and easily eroded when cleared of natural cover. Cultivation is carried out in the tropics purely for weed control, but this leads to accelerated soil erosion, as cultivated soil) has no protection. Gully erosion can be minimized b...

Research scientists must have access to field records to ensure that their experimental treatments are neither masked nor affected by previous land usage. Research fields must be identified on the ground and accurate records kept of all operations and treatments carried out. Several procedures ha...

Good roads can prevent costly damage to machinery. Erosion of roads can be avoided by proper design and construction. Earth roads require continuous maintenance. Maintenance is easy if carried out correctly and routinely.

Every research station requires water. Local urban water supplies may be unreliable. Land storage tanks may be required. A research station may need to develop its own water supply by constructing wells or dams.

Crop Cultivation makes agricultural soils susceptible to erosion. Land may become incapable of producing crops. Contour banks help to prevent gully erosion, the most spectacular type of erosion. This document describes design and construction of graded contour banks.

During the rainy season of 1991, severely reduced plant stands and severely stunted plants were observed in several fields of the cover crop Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. var. utilis (Wallich ex Wight) Baker ex Burck at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Ibadan, Nigeria. Initial ou...

Les cartes topographiques servent de base pour la planification des fermes. Elles peuvent etre utilisees dans la determination des pentes et de la topographie. On peut les utiliser e n association avec !'information sur les types de sol dans la planification des fermes experimentale.
