The results showed that mulching of jute geotextiles can greatly improve the ger minati on and growth of ramie. Combined with ramie the geotextiles can reduce soil eros ion effectively. When geojute was covered within one year

the treatment of geoj ute with ramie can reduce runoff volume 61.95% and sediment volume 96.52% compar ing with not covered geojute; and when it is covered for two years

the geojute with ramie can reduce runoff volume 64.35% and sediment volume 96. 01% comparing with the contrast. Under 60mm/h medium intensity artificial rainfall

the runo ff occurs 9min49s later when the land was covered with geojute and ramie than the contrast

and its accumulative runoff was 95.58% and accumulative sediment was 99.98% less than that with only ramie.
