Contour farming is often used in combination with other practices, such as terraces, water- and sediment-control basins, and stripcropping. Longer, steeper slopes may require stripcropping rather than just contour farming, which is less effective in preventing excessive erosion on the steeper or longer slopes. 6, record 1, English, - contour%20farming

La culture suivant les courbes de niveau peut être employée sur un terrain en pente pour planter et gérer les cultures selon les courbes de niveau. Cela permet de prévenir ou contrôler l'érosion et le ruissellement et de stocker l'eau sur place pour qu'elle puisse être utilisée par les cultures, les pâturages et les arbres. 3, record 1, French, - culture%20en%20courbes%20de%20niveau
