The Effect Of Bush Burning On Agricultural Land

Abstract

Bush burning removes the natural foliage cover that protects the soil face. This exposes the land to the goods of wind and water corrosion. It should still noted that burning on agrarian lands in Okada in Ovia North East Local Government Area attention was concentrated on the merit and dereliction of burning agrarian land in chapter five. At the after part of this chapter, useful suggestions and recommendations were given on how to accomplish burning by trying to avoid bad goods on burning agrarian lands in Okada in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. still these suggestions and recommendations are substantially on the part of the governments which are as follows
