Text № 1: A Guide to Soil Conservation

Without healthy soil, farmers can't produce healthy crops. But soil faces many threats, including nutrient depletion and erosion. Fortunately, several methods of soil conservation can turn unhealthy soil into a plant paradise.

One method, crop rotation, solves nutrient depletion. Cover crops, or green manure, are rotated with other crops. This process increases the amount of nitrogen in the soil and reverses land degradation.

In addition to addressing nutrient -depletion, farmers also combat erosion. Several practices can prevent erosion. Planting windbreaks stops topsoil loss from wind. Perimeter runoff control prevents erosion from water. For example, grass ways slow water and direct it away from fields.

Contour-farming techniques, such as key line design, also prevent water from eroding soil. In one method, farmers plow rows perpendicular to hills. The water slows as it reaches the rows, which results in less soil loss.
