Abstract

Soil erosion plays an important role in decreasing soil quality and agricultural products. Soil conservation is the preventive alternative that may have a role in decreasing soil erosion costs. Farmers have used vertical plow on the basis of experience and local knowledge and the effects of vertical plow on crop yield and quality of soil are tangible for them. this paper tried to examine soil conservation management in a bioeconomic modeling framework with an emphasis in local knowledge of farmers. It is shown that (I) soil erosion is a phenomenon present at any conservation management and impossible to completely avoid. Hence, some costs will be incured, (2) any kind of conservation practices that result in decreasing soil erosion and soil fertility mining may be effective in decreasing erosion costs. For example, vertical plow based on farmers knowledge has reduced in costs of soil erosion at least half as much as much as of its alternative, horizontal plow, (3) a considerable increase in farmer’s income is made because of traditional conservation every year, (4) Farmers are aware of the important of soil conservation and its benefits as result of their local knowledge. They would use conservation plow if they had suitable plowing machines for the steep lands and (5) The delay in using soil conservation practices by some farmers in due to increasing loss of yields and consequently, costs of erosion in soil with less than 10 centimeter depth being unimportant in terms of acreage and will get that depth in the long run with the present rates of erosion. The results justifies policy making, planning, credit support and application of advanced soil conservation measures or at least extension of traditional conservation practices, research about advanced conservation methods and allocation of sufficient budget for the application of the soil conservation practices.
