Abstract:
The investigation's objective was to ascertain how agriculture production in Butambala District's Kibuga Division was impacted by soil erosion. The research obtained data from 260 participants, and as a result, the goals of the study were accurately met by the findings. The purpose of the study was to determine how soil degradation influences agricultural yields, what effects it has on crop production, as well as how to measure soil erosion's effects on crop output. The study's findings revealed that the removal of top soil was among the main ways that soil degradation had a negative impact on crop yield, according to the majority of respondents. A minor number of participants told the investigator that soil degradation would also worsen soil drainage, and 10% of the respondents gave data demonstrating that soil erosion would also have an adverse effect on yields due to soil compaction. Some responses provided data demonstrating how soil erosion may lower garden soil fertility. According to the report's results, the majority of the participants said that mulching was the most effective method for reducing soil erosion. A tiny percentage of respondents additionally provided information demonstrating that farms also used covering crops as a method of reducing soil erosion. Finally, a couple of the responders provided data demonstrating that using natural manure also prevented soil erosion. Several of the respondents presented results showing that soil erosion will be eliminated in gardens by afforestation.
