  • Surface run-off is a major factor of occurrence of erosion causing land degradation in the tropics. The land slopes and the percentage of land coverage by mulch can affect the surface run-off. The research purposes are to determine influence of land slope and percentage coverage land by mulch of cocoa crop to the surface run-off. Research is conducted making some plot the measurement of the surface run-off by multiple levels slope and percentage land coverage surface by mulch. The results showed that (1) thick rainfall effect exponentially against large surface run-off; (2) the slope of land has a very big role against the occurrence of surface flow and its correlated directly; (3) the shading of plants can reduce surface flow; and (4) on the high intensity rain, land coverage by mulch can enlarge surface run-off, because rain water hard entrance into the soil.
