Detailed explanation-1: -Soil conservation is the prevention of loss of the topmost layer of the soil from erosion or prevention of reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conservation Tillage Conservation tillage consists of a variety of practices used in agriculture to reduce wind and water erosion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Soil conservation is the practice of minimizing soil loss while maximizing agricultural production. It includes agronomic or mechanical practices aimed at reducing erosion to natural, geological rates, in equilibrium with long-term soil formation rates.
Detailed explanation-4: -It refers to the methods involved in preventing soil erosion, denudation, degradation, and pollution. It involves multiple methods that are mainly involved in agricultural techniques due to the close relation of the plants with soil.
Detailed explanation-5: -Practicing no till farming allows crops to remain till season ends, preventing unnecessary ploughing and soil erosion. Terrace farming prevents water runoff from taking away soil minerals by slowing it’s speed and manipulating it’s flow directions.
