Factors to Consider in Soil Manangement 1. Cropping system-
pattern or arrangement of cropsin time and space as
well as the process of growing them.It conserve or improvingthe nutritional status of soil, add organic soil structure, protect the land from erosion and ultimately give high yield.

1.1. Monocropping- used in a large commercial production
of crop. Examples are: Abaca Banana Pineapple 1.2. Multiple cropping- makes more
effient use of land area and sunlight, increase yield/unit area and control erosion in hilly lands, especially is accompanied by proper fertilization and irrigation

1.3. Succession cropping – growing of 2 or
more crops one after another. 1.4. Relay cropping- planting a
crop in the same piece of land as another crop is about to harvest. 1.5. Intercropping- planting odf different crops in alternate rows. 2. Fertilizer program- A good fertilizer program strives to maintain or increase the current supply of nutrients to optimum levels and in correct proportions for economical production.

3. Erosion control Soil erosion- physical loss
& displacement of the fertile topsoil by primary action
of water. a) Cover cropping – growing crepping and bushing plants w/ dense vegetative growth under horticultural trees like citrus, coconut, cacao, rubber and oil palm. b) Contour farming- planting across the slope following the contour lines rather than up and down.
