Research And Application Of Technological Advances For Sustainable Upland Agriculture Production In Northern Vietnam

Year: 2003

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The rainfed uplands occupy about one-third area of northern Vietnam and are \nThreatened with destruction of natural habitat due to improper land use practices. Agricultural technologies practiced on these lands are exacerbating soil loss and \ndestruction of the natural habitat as the soils are deeply weathered, poor ill nutrients, \nand highly vulnerable to erosion, The loss of humus rich topsoil leaving behind the \nsubsoil devoid of vital plant nutrients is leading /0 rampant infertility' and poor water \nholding capacity of soils. The upland ecosystems have much lower carrying capacity and \nrespond to crop intensification by rapid declines in productively, even total collapse if not \nmanaged properly, ' \n
