Question

Explain any three methods of soil conservation.

Accepted Answer

The three methods of soil conservation are:

1. Planting trees: The planting of trees ensures the prevention of soil erosion. The trees having fibrous roots are more effective in holding the soil and preventing the soil from erosion.

2. Terrace farming: The cutting of terraces on the hills helps to prevent soil erosion. The terraces are used as bounds and this prevents the rapid runoff of water with soil and helps the water to seep into the soil and increase the underground water level.

3. Cover crops: Cover crops are plants that are planted to cover the soil. It will prevent the wind from blowing away the soil. Cover crops manage soil erosion, soil fertility and soil quality.
