A diagnosis of soil and water management and conservation was carried out in two rivers basins of Arenito Caiuá (Caiuá sandstone) soils in the northwest region of the State of Paraná, Brazil. 1988 through 1989, seventy (70) farmers were interviewed on the causes of hydric erosion and on the adoption of conservationist practices in soils under the cultivation of pastures, annual and perennial crops. The results demonstrated that the terracing system used is not adequate to the erosive process control for the actual climatic conditions, tillage, soil slope and watersheds of the river basins.Downloads
