Soil Slitting

Soil Slitting

a method of tilling the soil by cutting slits across the slope. The slits are usually 40–60 cm deep and set 100–150 cm apart. The purpose of soil slitting is to regulate overland flow and improve the soil’s capacity to retain snowmelt and cloudburst water. Five-bottom plow frames with slit cutters attached in place of the first and fifth bottoms are used for soil slitting.
