Objective of this study was to determine suitable vertical interval (H) for the bench terraces for soil conservation purposes in Elazığ. The study was carried out between 2010-2016 under semiarid and subhumid conditions separately. Experiment was 2-way factorial, completely randomized block design with three replications. Factors were slope distance (3 different distances) and vertical interval (3 intervals). Thus, a total of 81 plots were used for each climate type in the study. Iron rods were nailed into the soil at the lower end of each plot and level of soil surface was marked on the rods. Soil loss was determined as the distance between first year marked point and the level of soil surface on the rods at the measurement time. Data were analyzed by using 2-way factorial ANOVA and means were separated by using Duncan multiple range test (P<0,05). Results showed that vertical interval and slope distance values used in this study can be used in Elazığ and other regions with similar climatic conditions. Additionally, results revealed that soil loss increased as slope distance and vertical interval increased but it decreased in the follwing years.
