<span class="s4" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">The project submitted for the award is "Adopting Bio Reinforcement Techniques to Control Soil Erosion on Bench Terraces and Irrigation Channels".</span></div>
<div class="s5" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.28; margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span class="s4" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">Their project adopted bio-reinforcement techniques to control soil erosion on bench terraces and irrigation channels. The shoulder bunds and risers of the bench terraces are severely endangered by soil erosion, so the bench terraces and bunds of the irrigation channels were bio-stabilized by planting Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) densely. To ensure the results scientifically, the specialized In-situ jet erosion test apparatus has been designed and fabricated for conducting erodability test in the field itself. By conducting In-situ jet erosion test periodically at several bio-reinforced sites, it was found that the control of soil erosion by Vetiver bio-reinforcement is increased b</span><span class="s4" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">y 56% in six months and the </span><span class="s4" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">strength increase was found to be 62% comparatively with the unreinforced soil. This technique will facilitate the farmers in maintaining bench terraces without any financial hurdles.</span></div>
