Grass Filter Strip Technology for Soil and Water Conservation in Semi-Arid Marginal Lands

overview

Grass filter strips integrated along field bunds slow runoff, trap sediments, and reduce losses of soil, nutrients, and organic carbon in semi-arid croplands. By enhancing in-situ moisture retention and improving soil fertility, these perennial grass strips boost overall productivity while providing additional fodder, making them ideal for resource-poor, rainfed farming systems.
