Answer:
Terrace cultivation, method of growing crops on sides of hills or mountains by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. Though labour-intensive, the method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.
Hello..
Question:
Which cultivation restricts erosion?
Answer:
Erosion in unprotected soil can begin as soon as the first raindrops fall. With nothing to cushion the impact, raindrops can dislodge soil particles, splashing them up to several feet away.
In Contour farming, Wrapping row crops around a slope instead of running them up and down the slope can prevent erosion by limiting easy pathways for runoff. Runoff often flows down wheel tracks from planting or ridges from row-crop cultivation. Contouring channels water in much flatter valleys to slow runoff. Contour farming can be difficult because of point rows and slope. It can be worth it to avoid the deep trenches in wheel tracks and rows from running rows with the slope.
But mostly in hilly areas terrace farming has mostly seen.
