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. A total of 13 ยฎeld run
Field experiments were conducted to evaluate eects of four slope lengths (20 m, 10 m, 6 . 7 m and 5 m) and four slope gradients (0 . 9ยฑ1 . 8 per cent, 4 . 7ยฑ5 . 7 per cent, 9 . 3ยฑ9 . 9 per cent, and 14 . 2ยฑ14 . 9 per cent) on interrill erosion. Plot width was appropriately adjusted to keep the plot
