Comment on consultation for developing the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management
Guide line: Controlling severe soil losses (deflation by wind) using natural friendly materials, lessons learnt from Kuwait:
A large scale field experiment was recently conducted on soil losses control under very harsh conditions (wind speed from 40-50 km/hour and temperature ranging between 45-50 degrees Celsius.).Within 8 weeks ,vegetation cover was enhanced and the soil moisture was remarkably increased .The soil was stabilized after mulching by a mixture of organic materials (humus), out-washed silt and manure.
