CONTROL OF SOIL SUBJECT TO WIND EROSION
THE PROTECTION OF LIGHT SOILS, SANDS AND DISTURBED SOILS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WIND EROSION IS DISCUSSED. PERMANENT CONTROL REQUIRES THAT THE SOIL SURFACE BE PROTECTED BY A COVER OF LIVING PLANTS OR BY DEAD VEGETATION CONTINUOUSLY REPLENISHED. SURFACE PROTECTION CAN BE GAINED BY EMPLOYING ONE OR MORE SOIL-CONSERVING PRACTICES SUCH AS STUBBLEMULCHING, COVER CROPPING, STRIP-CROPPING, WINDBREAKS, ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT HERBACEOUS OR WOODY PLANT COVER, AND MULCHING. MULCHING, ESTABLISHING PERMANENT PLANT COVER, COVER CROPPING, AND WINDBREAKS ARE DISCUSSED.
