With the way of runoff plots

effects of the different ways of sod in the eroded slope orchard on soil erosion

soil fertility

fruit tree growth

the output and quality of fruit were studied. The result showed that three different sod ways of strip covering and mulching

covering in the whole orchard

and strip covering could controlled soil erosion effectively and improved soil fertility. The way of covering in the whole orchard affected fruit tree growth badly

and had the lowest output and worst quality of fruit. Although the orchard with the way of cleaning tillage had the best fruit tree growth

the largest output and the better quality fruit

soil loss in the orchard was severely. The comprehensive analysis showed that the way of strip covering and mulching was the best way in the eroded slope orchard and it was worth popularized.
