The traditional soil and water conser vation (SWC) methods practised by the
tribal farmers of nine villages of Semiliguda block in Koraput district were
analysed based on information collected through schedule survey, group discussion
and field visit. Farmers have been adopting and practising cost effective agronomic
and structural measures since time immemorial for conserving soil and rain water.
Contour cultivation, mixed cropping, mulching, agri-horti system, stone bunding,
Jhola kundi and vegetative bund of sambuta grass are the most commonly found
indigenous SWC measures in the cultivated fields. The rate of adoption of these
measures vary between 23% for pitcher irrigation and 83% for mixed cropping. This
variable adoption rate of these measures indicates that the farmers have wisdom
and hi gh s oci al value towards t he natural res ources par t i cul arl y s oi l , water
and vegetation, and continue to conserve these resources through cost effective
traditional techniques for their livelihood security.
