Abstract/Description: | Rainfed areas currently constitute 55% of the net sown area of the country are home to twothirds of livestock and 40% of human population in the Eastern Region of India. The region has a predominance of tribal (54 tribal communities) constituting about 30% of the total population (Chauhan, 1998). It's also observed that around 62.5% of the total geographical area of Eastern Region is degraded exclusively by water induced soil erosion which in conjunction with saltaffected and acid soils works out to be 73.9%. Data on soil loss tolerance limits indicate that the tolerance (T) value varies between 7.5 and 12.5 t/ha/yr across the region (Lenka et al., 2013). Indiscriminate deforestation and practice of Jhum cultivation lead to accelerated erosion for which proper conservation measures need to be established, especially on very steep slopes. |
