    Soil Conservation Practices

    Uploaded by

    Archon Banzon
    The document discusses several soil conservation practices including crop rotation, reduced tillage, mulching, cover cropping, and cross-slope farming. Crop rotation involves planting different crops sequentially to improve soil health and optimize nutrient levels. Reduced tillage minimizes soil disturbance and leaves crop residue on the ground. Mulching places organic material over the soil surface to protect it. Cover cropping grows protective crops between main crop cycles. Cross-slope farming establishes row patterns across slopes rather than up and down hills to reduce erosion.
