Easiest way of Soil Conversion

SOIL CONSERVATION

            Soil is the cover or top covering of the earth. The protection of soil against loss of it through various sources is known as soil conservation. It is generally concerned with keeping the soil on its place. The stabilization of soil on its pace is called soil conservation. There are various methods of keeping the soil conserved:

1. Soil fertility- Fertile soil should grow plants by which soil is protected from wind and water erosion
2. Crop rotation- It can keep and restore the mineral of soil.
3. Reforestation- It protects the soil from soil erosion.
4. Development of Grass lands- It can hold the soil together.
5. Control of Grazing- The excessive loss of grazing by cattle should be control to keep the soil conserved.
6. Contour Ploughing- The land should be ploughed at right angles to the slopes instead of ploughing up and down the slope. This practice is in hilly areas.
7. Countour Strip Cropping- Heavy rain cause gullying and sheet washing. So we should adopt strips to keep conserved the soil.
8. Terraced cultivation- The slope should be divided in small field called terraces.
9. Fallowing- The method of giving valuable mineral elements especially Nitrogen to the soil. It also keeps the soil conserved.
10. Dam building- It is important to build soil. It shows the level of soil erosion.
11. Gully Control- Gully control should be adopted because fast moving water cut the soil and cause gullying.
12. Control of Wind Erosion-Keeping the soil covered from wind and keeping the soil rough are the methods of conserving soil.
