. Practical botany. Botany. 444 PEACTICAL BOTANY are many kinds of soil-holding plants which, if properly placed, will prevent erosion in its earliest stages, and these should be used. In open, hilly fields which are exposed to erosion, grass and meadow crops are desirable, since their roots help to hold the soil throughout the whole year. In such cases the roots and stems help to prevent the rapid run-off of the surface water.
