WASWC provides a forum through which soil conservationists can be kept up to date on world-wide developments in their field, obtain information and contact people working on similar problems. WASWC has a worldwide network of some 500 members, 8 vice-presidents representing major regions of the world and a governing council of 5 officers who are presently located in 4 different countries. For US $10 you can become a member of this network and be informed and involved at an international level. International meetings. WASWC organizes and sponsors international meetings that focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of soil and water conservation. Over the last 15 years WASWC has sponsored and co-sponsored a number of workshops and conferences,including those on steepland and hillslope farming in Puerto Rico, Indonesia and Taiwan; conservation farming conferences in Kenya and Tanzania; headwater conferences in the former Czechoslovakia and India; soil conservation extension in Thailand; rangeland desertification in Iceland and land degradation in Thailand. WASWC has also co-sponsored Conferences with the International Soil Conservation Organization (ISCO) in Belgium, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Thailand, Ethiopia, Australia and Germany. WASWC meetings are usually held in conjunction with ISCO and the Soil and Water Conservation Society's meetings.

Certain areas of New Zealand are now subject to accelerated mass movement, wind and water erosion, and degradation from unsustainable or inappropriate land management practices. Particular problems, of varying importance, include: land instability and mass movement erosion in hill and high country land in many parts of New Zealand, for example, severe mass movement in the East Coast region affecting about 285,000 hectares; land degradation in an at risk area of about 300,000 hectares of the tussock grasslands of the South Island high country, features of which are the losses of soil fertility, organic matter, structure and moisture retention capability;

    Extractions: Irrigation Soil Drainage Good soil drainage is essential for successful crop production. Soil micro-organisms as well as plant roots re- quire oxygen. When a soil is poorly drained, it remains saturated or nearly saturated with water for fairly long periods, thus limiting the supply of oxygen and restricting crop growth. In the Atlantic Provinces, poor soil drainage also results in cold, wet soils in spring, and poor trafficability for spring and fall tillage, seeding, and harvesting operations. This leads to serious delays in seeding, germination, and harvesting of spring seeded crops, with in- creases in crop disease, maturity related problems, soil compaction, and to higher equipment operating costs. Poor soil drainage contributes to poor winter survival of perennial legume and winter cereal crops. Moisture moves through the soil at different rates depending on the size and distribution of pore spaces between soil particles. The greater the volume of large pore spaces, e.g. in sandy and gravelly soils, the faster water will drain out of a soil. In a fine textured (clayey) soil, the total pore space volume is small and the movement of moisture is slower than in sandy soils. Soil particles have a natural tendency to cling together to form soil aggregates, a condition known as soil structure. Soil structure can be improved by judicious use of limestone, manures, fertilizer, crop sequence, and tillage practices. Development of an improved soil structure will increase the pore volume distribution in the soil and permit more rapid removal of surplus water.

91. Soil And Nutrient Management: Comparing Conservation Practices...

    http://www.swcs.org/t_pubs_journal_3rdQ00abstracts_12.htm
    
    Extractions: Corresponding author: Meredith Soule, USDA-ERS, 1800 M St, NW, Room S4171, Washington, D.C. 20036. Phone: 202.694.5552, fax: 202.694.5775, email: msoule@ers.usda.gov There is increasing recognition that farmers face constraints on their farming and conservation decisions depending on their resources, stage in life, and lifestyle choices. These factors are captured in a new farm typology developed by the Economic Research Service (ERS). The farm typology includes five major farm types: limited resource farms, retirement farms, residential/lifestyle farms, low sales family farms, and high sales family farms. The data used in this study resulted from 950 corn producers interviewed for the 1996 crop year as part of a ERS’ Agricultural Resources Management Study (ARMS) survey administered by the National Agricultural Statistical Service of the USDA. Mean adoption rates of eleven different soil and nutrient management practices are compared across the typology using t-statistics. The overall adoption of practices varies widely as does the adoption of each practice between groups. In general, the limited-resource, retirement and residential/lifestyle farmers are less likely to use technologies such as N-inhibitors, precision agriculture, conservation tillage, or rotation with legumes and contour plowing than are the low and high sales family farmers. However, when other factors, such as acres operated, operator’s education, planting on highly erodible land, and land tenure, are controlled for by using a binary logit adoption model for each practice, the farm typology is found to be an important explanatory variable for only two practices – rotation with legumes and conservation tillage.

    Extractions: Soil and water are our most important resources. They provide the food, fiber and foundation of our existence. Soil science is the study of the soil as a component of natural and man-made systems. Soil science is the key factor in food production and is at the forefront of environmental and natural resource issues such as land use, soil contamination, ground water quality and waste disposal. Soil science is a natural science that emphasizes the study of biology, chemistry and mathematics along with communication skills. Each program of study in soil science is personally designed based on the student's abilities, interests and career goals. Soil science graduates gain an appreciation of agricultural production, environmental concerns and natural resource issues. In addition, a geoscience minor can be earned from the Department of Geosciences which includes a strong soil science component in the required course work. Interested students should contact the Department of Geosciences.
