Question

Which of the following methods are used to restrict soil erosion ?
(A) Ploughing along contour lines
(B) Strip cropping
(C) Jhumming
(D) Mixed farming

• A. A and B
• B. A and C
• C. B and D
• D. B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is A A and B

Contour ploughing (or contour ploughing) or contour, farming is the farming practice of ploughing across a slope following its elevation contour lines.

The rows form slow water runoff during rainstorms to prevent soil erosion and allow the water time to settle into the soil.

Strip cropping is a method of farming used when a slope is too steep or too long, or otherwise when one does not have an alternative method of preventing soil erosion.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$
