strip cropping A crop production system that involves planting alternating strips or row crops and close-growing forage crops; the forage strips intercept and slow runoff from the less protected row crop strips.
Contour strip cropping - growing crops in strips that follow the contour. Strips of grass or close - growing crops are
alternated with strips of clean tilled crops or summer fallow.
