Abstract

Mean annual run-off loss recorded was 19.8 of the rainfall. Highest run-off was associated with the very wet months between September and December. Among the treatments highest run-off was recorded in plots under bare ground with run-off of 30.8 followed by plotswith contour stacked fronds 17.8 and plots with contour stacked fronds silt pit 10.7. Annual soil losses and contour stacked fronds silt-pit respectively. Overall broadcast of fertilizer application was more superior to burial method statistically but not to silt-pit on terraced areas as results indicated soil losses caused by run-off and leaching was very minimal if proper agronomic practices such as contour frond stacking has been implemented accordingly.
