In the management of sloping farmland in Tielugou small watershed in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region

measures such as terracing and forest were taken. In order to find out the measures with the best ecological benefits

19 runoff plots adopting 7 kinds of measures were established in the area by taking longitudinal farming (corn) as the contrast measure. Experimental results showed that terracing (peach + perennial ryegrass) gave the best ecological benefits. Other investigations also revealed that terracing (peach + perennial ryegrass) gave the best economic benefits

about 13 950 yuan/hm2. Therefore

terracing (peach + perennial ryegrass) was completely worthy of promotion in sloping land management in the Three Gorges Reservoir Resion.
