Soil erosion is a threat to the productivity of smallholder operations engaged in agriculture in sloped regions of Vietnam. Developing and evaluating alternative systems to combat soil erosion is important to maintain yields and incomes in these upland regions. Cassava is typically grown on these slopes, as it can survive in low nutrient soils; however, nutrient loss through soil erosion can lead to substantial cassava yield declines over time with repeated production. The International Center for Tropical Agriculture directed an intervention in 1999 to understand the agronomic effects of soil erosion minimization techniques to increase cassava yields, incomes, and improve smallholder livelihoods in Southeast Asia. Smallholder cassava growers in Van Yen District, Vietnam were participants in that initial intervention. Growers in this region adopted the technique of growing Paspalum atratum grass strips on hedgerows to minimize soil erosion. Our research is a follow-up study of this initial intervention in Van Yen to compare the grass strip system to the traditional monocrop system to understand the impact on soil erosion, yields, and economic profitability.
