Question

Which of the following is not a measure for soil conservation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

overgrazing

Explanation:

Soil conservation is the process of prevention of soil erosion and to prevent the soil from becoming infertile. In mulching, a protective layer is placed over the soil such as straw, grasses etc., which helps in retaining soil moisture and also regulates soil temperature. Strip cropping is a process in which field is divided into strips and different crops are grown in alternate strips to preserve soil fertility. Crop rotation means growing of different types of crops on the same field in succession which prevents the depletion of nutrients from the soil. Overgrazing or intense grazing will erode the soil.
