Attention, farmers and caring community members! Water is undoubtedly one of the most important resources for our land, but its power can also become a threat to our fields. In the spring, we are faced with a phenomenon that can seriously compromise the fertility of our land - water erosion.
What is water erosion and how does it affect our fields? This phenomenon manifests itself in two forms: planar and linear. The first form occurs during small rains or snowmelt, when water forms small depressions on the surface of fields, which can negatively affect the growth and yield of crops. More serious, however, is linear erosion, which occurs when heavy rains create deep scour holes in fields. This is especially noticeable in fallow fields where there is no vegetation to hold the soil in place.
