Planning machine paths and row crop patterns on steep surfaces to minimize soil erosion
2016-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Soil erosion in arable fields is intensified on irregular surfaces. Although machine and crop-row patterns following terrain contours reduce runoff and increase water infiltration, these contours are almost never parallel while machine operations always are. In this work, a method is presented to generate patterns of machine paths on sloping land and assess their susceptibility to water erosion. The approach compr...
