ABSTRACT
This research work was designed to examine the causes and effect of soil erosion in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. Five (5) research questions were formulated and questionnaires were administered to one hundred (100) respondents in order to gather data for the research. Results showed that agricultural activities lead to soil erosion, improper soil management cause erosion, deforestation lead to erosion etc. Recommendations were made and it include that; sustainable soil management systems must be developed to reduce further degradation and restore the productivity of the eroded land. Also, the management options to reduce the soil loss are to implement conservation measures and/or to change the crop to be planted. Soil conservation methods including terraces and bunds as well as semi-permeable structures like grass strips should be used as barriers to holdback runoff and sediment carried with it. Agronomic measures like contour plowing have the advantage to reduce runoff and soil loss.
