Answer:
The soil water conservation that can be used are
- crop rotation
- cover cropping
- cross slope farming
Explanation:
- These practices include crop rotation, tillage reduction, mulching, cover cropping, and cross-slope cultivation. Farmers increase soil organic matter content, soil structure and root depth.
- Crop rotation is the practice of growing different types of crops in the same area for many seasons. This reduces reliance on an array of nutrient, pest and weed pressures, and reduces the likelihood of multiple crops disrupting the weed, insect and disease cycle in crop rotation. Crop rotation produces healthy and productive plants. Rotation is planned to produce a residual cover for erosion and moisture control. Crop rotation with hay and cover crops can reduce fertilizer and pesticide use and develop resistant pests and weeds.
- Cross slope farming : The rows form hundreds of small dams to slow runoff.
- A similar conservation activity, called cross-slope farming, involves establishing row patterns that are as close to the contour as possible, with no uphills or downhills. It can be used to protect some areas.
