Factors Related to Stock Ownership and Population Movements and Perceptions on Land Pressure and Other Environmental Changes Among the Rendille in Marsabit District
The effect of narrow grass strips in controlling soil erosion and runoff on sloping land
The study was carried out on twelve runoff
plots installed at Kabete Campus Field Station,
University of Nairobi, on a 10% natural slope of
eutric Nitisol to assess the effect of grass strips
in controlling soil loss and runoff on sloping land.
Four treatments, a control plot without grass strip
and three different widths (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m.) of
Nandi setaria (Setaria anceps), were tested under
natural rainfall during 1982 and 1983, simulated
runoff, and simulated rainfall of 80 mm/hr.
