Q. There are certain methods to conserve soil in plain areas and on hill slopes. Which of the following statements about soil conservation practices is/are true?
- Crop rotation enables farmers to increase soil's organic matter content, soil structure, and rooting depth.
- Cover cropping and mulching reduces soil displacement associated with the impact of raindrops hitting soil particles.
- Conservation tillage is aimed at preserving soil aggregates, organic matter and surface residue from previous crops.
- Cross slope farming creates vegetative areas that separate field boundaries from watercourses.
Q. 'X' is the practice of growing field crops in narrow strips either at right angles to the direction of the prevailing wind, or following the natural contours of the terrain to prevent wind and water erosion of the soil. It involves planting crops in strips across the slope, with alternate strips of grain and/or forage crops. Identify 'X'.
