CONSERVATION

It is the act of protecting Earth’s natural resources for current and future generations.

It is a combination of practices used to protect the soil from degradation, erosion, and depletion.

SOIL CONSERVATION PRACTICES

The soil conservation technique aims to address wind and water erosion by covering the earth with vegetation (either crops or their residues) and limiting the number of tilling operations.

The soil conservation method proves efficient in slope territories and suggests planting species along the contour.

It involves alternating strips of small grain or forage crops with row crops like corn.

This soil conservation practice is used to reduce the power of winds and its disruptive effect on soil.

It is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same plot of land to improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, and combat pest and weed pressure.

These are trees and bushes on the banks of water bodies to prevent sediment, and water wash-offs.

It is a crop you grow for the soil, instead of for your plate. The practice of growing specific crops just for fertilizing and building the soil dates back to the Roman Empire.
