Question

What do you mean by contour ploughing?

Answer 1

Contour ploughing or contour farming is the farming practice of ploughing and/or planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines. These contour lines create a water break which reduces the formation of rills and gullies during times of heavy water run-off; which is a major cause of soil erosion.

Answer 2

Ploughing along the contour lines is known as contour ploughing.
