La culture en bandes est la pratique qui consiste à faire alterner des bandes de cultures avec des bandes en jachère; elle réduit l'érosion éolienne en diminuant la vitesse du vent au sol et la distance que parcourt le vent sur les terres exposées en jachère. Lorsqu'il y a un problème d'érosion du sol, les avantages de la culture en bandes en compensent largement les inconvénients. Les avantages de la culture en bandes consistent en une diminution de l'érosion du sol et une augmentation de l'humidité du sol grâce au piégeage de la neige. 1, record 1, French, - technique%20de%20culture%20en%20bandes

El cultivo en franjas de protección se aplica en laderas empinadas donde el contorno es complicado. Las franjas de protección(por ejemplo, arbustos, hierbas o legumbres) crecen entre las bandas de contorno de forma alternativa y pueden ser permanentes(a menudo con vegetación autóctona) o temporales. No son necesariamente de la misma anchura y longitud, depende de las características del relieve. Su finalidad es exactamente la que indica su nombre : protegen el suelo y los cultivos comerciales sirviendo de amortiguadores. Esta práctica resulta especialmente apropiada en terrenos propensos a la erosión, ya que la vegetación de amortiguación mantiene el suelo en su sitio. 1, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%A9cnica%20de%20cultivo%20en%20franjas%20de%20protecci%C3%B3n
