430 million hectares of land was damaged as a result of erosion processes in different countries of the world. Surface, split and irrigation erosion is also widespread throughout the country. 43.29% of the total area is subject to varying degrees of erosion.

The newly formed fragments break agricultural land into small parts and make them useless. The following erosion intensity scale is presented. 1. clean washing up to 0.5 t/ha, 2. poor washing up to 0.5 t/ha, 3. moderate washing 1 t/ha-5 t/ha, 4. strong washing .. Read More»
