IMPROVING THE PRODUCTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF CROP SYSTEMS ON FRAGILE SLOPES IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SOUTH CHINA ---Focusing on Soil Conservation Yunnan Agricultural University on behalf of the project teams
Presentation outline • Where we are from and why soil conservation • What we have done • What we are doing now
Salween Red river Mekong Located in the most southwest part of P. R. China and the Great Mekong Sub-region (GMS) area, Yunnan Province internationally shares its borders with Lao, Myanmar and Vietnam.
Yunnan Domestically, the Pear river originates from here, and the upper branch of Yangtze river run through the Province.
Landform An total area of 0. 394 million Km 2, 94% of which are mountainous areas. The land with slopes <8 , 8 -15 , 15 -25 and >25 are 8. 87, 13. 71, 37. 42 and 39. 28% of the total land area.
Rainfall Intense convectional storms, embedded within the general southerly summer monsoonal airflow during the cropping season, makes erosion more pronounced. Distinct dry and wet season, the monsoon season is from May to October, 80 -85% rain felt in this period of time.
Agriculture activities Agriculture Yunnan is an agriculture province, and the total population is 49 million. Only 6. 8% of Yunnan’s land area can be used for agricultural activities. Most people in Yunnan depend very heavily on arable cropping agriculture. The practice of cultivating steep slopes is the norm.
From 1988 -1990, research on ploughing depths, cultivation directions and intercropping on soil erosion and maize yield was carried out at runoff/erosion plots in Yunnan Agricultural University
• Contour cultivation reduced runoff and soil loss and thus conserved soil organic matter and nutrients and water. In turn, this increased maize yield by 17. 6% compared with up-down slope cultivation. • Intercropping (with potato) and shallow ploughing (7 cm) were also effective, they increased maize yield by 23. 0% and 10. 0% compared to monoculture and deep ploughing (20 cm), respectively (Liu et al. , 1991).
1993 -96 cropping seasons data suggested the average rank order of treatment effectiveness in diminishing erosion rates was: 1) straw mulch, 2) intercropping, 3) no tillage, 4) polythene mulch and 5) conventional tillage.
Research from 1997 -2000 confirmed the suitability of straw mulch and contour cultivation as soil conservation measures. Data from the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons confirm that straw mulch and contour cultivation significantly decreased soil erosion rates and suggested a possible additive interaction between contour cultivation and straw mulch, which increases in effectiveness on steeper slopes.
Further progress towards general recommendations required full evaluation of the applicability and effectiveness of techniques developed in plot studies to actual field conditions. This work was conducted in Wang Jia Catchment. The project (sustainable highland agriculture in Southeast Asia: SHASEA) funded by the European Union.

Catchment scale Soil erosion rate is reduced from 29428 t/km 2 in 1998 to 919 t/km 2 in 2002. The loss of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O is reduced by 39. 1 t per year at catchment level.
In summary, where the risk of soil erosion is high, the INCOPLAST technique is recommended. Where the priority is to increase maize yields on sloping land, contour planting with polythene mulch is recommended. Where straw and polythene are not available, simple contour cultivation is recommended.

• In the field runoff plots experiment, results indicated that rice straw geo-textile could effectively reduces surface runoff and conserves soil and water. • Rice straw mat mulch could be beneficial to hold and regulate soil moisture and is of better capability of regulation of soil temperature and improve crops (maize, tobacco and grass) growth. • Results from Experiment of water absorption rates and decomposition rates of fibres showed that rice straw mat is of almost same soil erosion control effects, and is more durable, better water holding capacity in comparison with mats made of jute fibre and palm leaves under subtropical region.

• • • Intercropping can effectively integrate the economic and ecological benefits in hilly areas. Maize-chilli intercropping is an eco-economic system to reduce the soil erosion and develop economic benefits under different natural rainfall conditions. Cash crop in intercropping is needed for promoting the poor adoption of multi-cropping system and soil conservation practice, which is widely accepted by local farmers due to high benefits.
