Hi Guys! I am Amar an Environmentalist. Today my friend is going to tell about the Methods being used at Telangana to Conserve Soil.
CONTOUR FARMING
This method proves efficient in slope territories and suggests planting species along the contour.
STRIP CROPPING
In this case, farmers combine high-growing crops with low-growing ones for the sake of wind protection.
Soil Erosion is a Major problem of Agriculture today but I have noticed that Telangana has been dealing with this effectively. Surabh is now going to tell you few of these Soil Conservation methods.
BUFFER STRIPS
These are trees and bushes on the banks of water bodies to prevent sediment, water wash offs.
Contour Farming is Farming with Row Patterns that run nearly Level around the Hill. An impact of terracing is similar to this , helps to conserve soil and reduce its degradation processes.
BENEFITS OF CONSERVING SOIL
Boosts Earth Quality and Productivity and MitigatesErosion as well as promotes Water infiltration and increases its Storage.
The Strip cropping practice works even better when high-growing crops are intensified in the sides where winds blow most frequently. An extra benefit is the organic matter.
CONSERVE SOIL FOR BETTER FUTURE !
Soil is the Greatest Connector of all Lives , the Source and Destination of all.
Their roots fix the soil to avoid slumping and erosion, canopies protect from excessive sunlight to water inhabitants and falling leaves are a source of organic matter.
The key goal of Soil Conservation is protecting it from Degradation in any way, including Depletion of Fertility and Erosion.
A Nation that destroys Soil destroys Itself. The Roots of all Goodnesses lie in the Soil. Protect It !
