INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks, affect both erosion and fertility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rotating crops provides productivity benefits by improving soil nutrient levels and breaking crop pest cycles. Farmers may also choose to rotate crops in order to reduce their production risk through diversification or to manage scarce resources, such as labor, during planting and harvesting timing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Contour ploughing mitigates the impacts of floods, storms and landslides on the crops by reducing soil erosion up to 50 percent, controlling runoff water, increasing moisture infiltration and retention and thus enhancing soil quality and composition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Contour plowing is the process of farming by keeping the lines of contour on the sloppy regions. The contour lines contribute to improved water distribution in the crops. In addition, the contour lines decrease topsoil movement and avoid soil erosion.
