Soil conservation

Soil conservation is the use of man-made artificial methods to control or minimize the action of soil erosion agents on the dispersal of soil particles, transport of dispersed particles and deposition elsewhere.

 It helps to maintain land fertility and crop production in the long run as well as prevent reservoirs such as siltation, malnutrition, water scarcity, land infertility and landslides and increase your and the country's income in the long run.


Soil erosion agents

Use of water and wind equipment Animals Soil particles are removed from the soil by soil erosion agents such as human activity and temperature

Soil erosion cases

This erosion can be minimized by using soil conservation methods in all the three cases of scattering, stratification and alley erosion. But when it comes to ditches and landslides, it can be difficult to restore land.





Mechanical soil conservation methods

Mechanical action changes the slope of the land and reduces the length of the slope, giving more attention to the control of dispersal backfill transport and deposition. Care must be taken in construction and maintenance to the required standards for successful results

  • Clay ridges
  • Rocks
  • Block drains
  • Terracing
  •  Contour platforms
  • Unitary floors








Biological soil conservation methods

In these methods, living plants are used to control the processes of dispersal transport and deposition. These are maintained not only during the season but also in the long run.

 

    • Savandara ridges
    • Cover Cultivation (Grass)
    •  The grass ridges
    •  Cover cultivation (banks)
    •  Glyricidia twice lines
    • Perennial crops
    •  Forest
    •  Wind barrier ridges





Agronomic Soil Conservation Methods

This means minimizing soil erosion during the period from selecting a crop suitable for cultivation in a particular area to harvesting.

      • Contour ground preparation
      • Application of organic manure
      • The rubbish heap
      • Minimal land preparation
      • Monitor the land daily and fix any deficiencies
      •  Layer / intercrop cultivation
      • Contour crop cultivation
      •  Selective weed control
      •  Mulching
      • Good land management
      • Cultivation of column / mixed crops
      • Micro water supply
