the soil loss from a field with a 5 percent slope is 45 Mg/ha for upslope and downslope farming and the cover and management factor is 0.25, what is the estimated soil loss if the field is contoured and the C factor is changed to 0.15? What will be the soil loss if strip cropping was subtituted for contouring?
