Question

Which of the following methods are practically used to stop or control soil erosion​

Answer 1

Answer:

Examples of erosion control methods include:

1. cellular confinement systems.
2. crop rotation.
3. conservation tillage.
4. contour bunding.
5. contour plowing.
6. cover crops.

Explanation:

1. Cellular confinement systems (CCS)—also known as geocells—are widely used in construction for erosion control, soil stabilization on flat ground and steep slopes, channel protection, and structural reinforcement for load support and earth retention.
2. Crop rotation is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same plot of land to improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, and combat pest and weed pressure. For example, say a farmer has planted a field of corn.
3. Conservation tillage practices reduce erosion by protecting the soil surface and allowing water to infiltrate instead of running off.
4. Contour bunding (or contour bundling), which involves the placement of lines of stones along the natural rises of a landscape, and contour farming. These techniques help to capture and hold rainfall before it can become runoff. They also inhibit wind erosion by keeping the soil…
5. Contour bunding or contour farming or Contour ploughing is the farming practice of plowing and/or planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines.
6. A cover crop is a crop of a specific plant that is grown primarily for the benefit of the soil rather than the crop yield. Cover crops are commonly used to suppress weeds, manage soil erosion, help build and improve soil fertility and quality, control diseases and pests, and promote biodiversity.
