New approaches to addressing erosion control in agricultural practice

Original language description

In the conditions of Central Europe, the soil is threatened mainly by water and wind erosion, compaction, acidification, contamination, loss of organic matter and reduction of its quality and its occupation. According to current findings, water erosion is the most extensive cause of soil degradation worldwide. In the Czech Republic, more than 60 % of agricultural land is potentially threatened by water erosion and more than 30 % by wind erosion. This is linked both to large blocks of land and intensification of agriculture and to changes in cropping preferences and the decline in livestock production. There are also significant changes in rainfall distribution, probably linked to ongoing climate change, leading to changes in the duration, frequency and magnitude of rainfall. New legislation and changes in GAEC conditions reflect the need for increased soil erosion protection. The assessment of erosion vulnerability is standardly carried out using the USLE method - the Universal Soil Loss Equation for Erosion (Wishmeier and Smith, 1978), which is the recommended method for calculating average long-term soil loss (G) in the Czech Republic and abroad. In terms of implementation of erosion control measures set according to GAEC requirements in LPIS, a new procedure has been developed for farmers to adjust cropping patterns and agronomic practices within the limits of allowable soil loss in a simple way.
