Question

Mention any one method for checking soil erosion?

Answer 1

Strip cropping, Terrace farming, Contour ploughing

Soil erosion can be prevented by strip cropping, i.e. by growing different crops on the same field in different strips.

Terrace Farming is another common method that involves cutting down mountain slopes in small terraces to prevent washing away of soil.

Another common method is contour ploughing, that involves ploughing around contours of the slope to prevent erosion.
