peer agreement (net): +1constructing ridges and furrows Explanation: Basically, you are correct. In Indonesia, the land preparation applying the Reynoso system is called as "pengolahan tanah/lahan surjan". -guludan: ridges or beds -tabukan (selokan or parit): furrows or ditches. In "the surjan system", agriculturalists prefer the term "tabukan" in order to differ from the general terms of "selokan" or "parit". The basic meanings of "silak" and "gebrus" are as follows: Silak: to heighten soil beds or ridges by hoeing/digging soil in in their right- and left-side ditches Gebrus; to hoe soil in order to be loose I would like to suggest you to use the term "constructing ridges and furrows" for "silak" and "gebrus".
