Abstract
The study was conducted during 2012-2013 to evaluate the effect of different soil working techniques, i.e., continuous contour (T1), small ridge-ditch (T2) and pit planting (T3) on runoff, soil and nutrient losses under Silvipastoral system in degraded lands of Himachal Pradesh. The investigations revealed that among all the soil working techniques continuous contour (T1) proved to be the most effective soil working technique to reduce runoff, soil and nutrient losses in degraded hilly slopes.
