[Objective] The rules of land preparation measures on sediment production and non-point source pollutant output of sloping land were analyzed in order to provide a scientific basis and technical support for controlling soil and water loss and agricultural non-point source pollution of sloping land at the source. [Methods] The runoff plots of sloping farmland (15° and 22°) with equi-height reverse slope steps were taken as the research object in Songhuaba at Yizhe watershed experimental area of Kunming City, central Yunnan Province. Rainfall, runoff, and water quality data from 2019 to 2021 were analyzed using a comparative analysis method. The characteristics of flow production, sand production, and nitrogen and phosphorus output of surface source pollutants within the sample plots were studied. [Results] Contour reverse slope terraces used on sloping land with a slope of 22° had more significant effects on the reduction of slope flow and sand production, and the output of surface pollutants nitrogen and phos
