1 - 20 of 23
12 - Plant gardens within forest wind breaks, or plant windbreaks to protect sensitive crops (glyricidia)
13 - Avoidance of agricultural activities in the immediate coastal strip
14 - Plant leafy crops in gardens that are well sheltered from winds (e.g. valleys etc)
15 - Plant root crops in exposed areas
16 - Cut the leaves of bananas prior to a cyclone to prevent uprooting
17 - Cut the stems of manioc prior to a cyclone to prevent uprooting
18 - Introduce Dwarf Varieties of manioc that will be less susceptible to wind damage
19 - Remove yam stakes during pre cyclone preparations
20 - Utilize early harvest varieties of yam (6 months) that can be harvested before cyclone season
147 - Undertake artificial germination of important species (nursery)
148 - Collect and store wildings for replanting
304 - Discourage clearing of vegetation on steep slopes
304 (a) - Reforest cleared slopes with tree and grass species with well developed root systems that will control soil erosion (e.g. vetiver and namamau)
304 (b) - Forest Plantations on sloping areas should be planted in various planting rows and patters to encourage soil retention
381 - Discourage burning of grasslands or marginal vegetation that holds soil
382 - Practice contour cropping/terracing
383 - Encourage rehabilitation of bare land and areas subject to soil erosion.
384 - Utilize site capture crops to quickly revegetate bare slopes
385 - Utilize cover crops to hold soil
386 - Utilize barrier crops to trap and prevent sediments from eroding
