Basic Knowledge in Agriculture 101

Explain in detail the term "Soil Conservation"

The conservation of the soil is a set of management practices and different strategies which are designed to protect the soil from the erosion, to prevent the soil from the degradation and also to maintain the fertility and the integrity of the structure of the soil.

Soil is a non renewable resource on a human timescale, it's means that once the nutrient rich topsoil is lost to the wind or due to the water and also due to the human management and then it takes centuries to replenish.Therefore, it is very important to conserve the soil for the security of the global food and also for the health of the ecosystem.

The primary cause of the loss of the soil is the erosion of the soil which occurs due to the physical forces such as water and the wind strip away the upper layers of the earth.In many areas of the world, due to the heavy rainfall cause the soil erosion by washing away the topsoil while in the arid areas the high winds can carry the fine particles away.

To combat the soil erosion one of the most best method is the contour plowing, in this technique the farmers plow across the slopes of the land rather than up and down.This creates the small ridges that act as natural barriers to slow down the runoff of the water and allow it to soak into the ground rather than carrying soil away.

Explain the importance of Soil Conservation in Agriculture?

The conservation of the soil is the fundamental to the field of the agriculture for the quality and the stability of the soil directly dictate the success of the production of the food.From an agricultural point of view, the soil is not just dust, it is a living, a dynamic medium that provides the essential nutrients, water for the plants which are required for the growth of the plants.

The conservation of the soil is the fundamental to the field of the agriculture for the quality and the stability of the soil directly dictate the success of the production of the food.The food supply becomes vulnerable to the permanent loss due to without conservation of the soil.

One of the most critical aspects of the conservation of the soil is the fertility of the topsoil. The upper layer of the soil consists of the high concentration of the organic matter and the nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The erosion can disrupt this layer of the soil and leaving behind the poor nutrient that can not support most of the crops.
