Eects of six slope lengths, 60 m to 10 m with 10-m increments, on soil physical properties were evaluated for ploughbased conventional till and no-till seedbed preparation on ยฎeld runo plots for three consecutive years from 1984 to 1987.

Field runo plots were established in 1984 to evaluate the eects of slope length on runo, soil erosion and crop yields on newly cleared land for four consecutive years (1984ยฑ1987) on an Alยฎsol at Ibadan, Nigeria. The experimental treatments involved six slope lengths (60 m to 10 m at 10-m increments)
Eects of erosion-induced degradation on soil chemical quality, plant nutrient loss in runo water and water quality were related to slope length for a 5-year study from 1984 through 1988 conducted on tropical Alยฎsols under maize (Zea mays)ยฑ cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) rotation.
