ABSTRACT

Soil is a unite resource. Though the impacts of soil erosion are varied in different spheres, understanding it in the context of impacts on agriculture is very important as it lays the foundation for planning to conserve and protect the resource base. This review deals with the major effects of erosion on soil and nutrient losses, soil and crop productivity, sedimentation of reservoirs etc. The nutrient losses of soil, especially under situations where there is no or low addition of fertilizers is a cause for concern. Thus, the study of impacts of soil erosion helps in developing techniques for soil conservation that are technically viable and socially acceptable to small land holders in the tropics.
