dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted at Morogoro and Hombolo, as part of the ongoing research under the department of AgriculĀ­tural Engineering and Land Planning.This report acts as interim findings of the research. Ten run off plots were established, four at Hombolo and the rest at Morogoro. Five erosivity factors were regressed to ascertain the best fit on the soil loss.The plots had different treatments of canopy cover for each of the seven rainstorms recorded during the cropping season. El 30 compound erosivity factor and runoff mination of proved to have 0.92 and 0.69,high coefficients respectively.There deterĀ­ was a significant difference in soil loss between bare plots and other plots with crop cover.However,the difference in runoff amounts was insignificant.
