First, we use -Intercropping, in which we grow two or more crops at the same time making use of resources that would otherwise not be utilized by a single crop.
Oh, Wow! This method is really helpful. It really has so many beneficial effects on soil fertility and nutrient cycling.
Yes, Soils of Telangana are well-drained and moderately well-drained and give a favorable environment for soil fertility management.
(Amar and Mr. Sham walks towards the farm and also meet Suzy.)

Next we plant Windbreaks. They prevent soil erosion by slowing the force of wind over open ground.
Hi Shun. They are commonly planted in hedgerows around the edges of fields on farms.
And meet Suzy, she will tell you more about windbreaks.
Yes, it will increase trees which prevents soil erosion because of high winds or floods.
(They walk towards more farms.)

Strip cropping is planting and growing of crops in alternating strips. The strips are systematically arranged across a field as close to the contour as possible.
Strip cropping agriculture is used to improve soil health.
It would help as certain layers of plants will absorb minerals and water from the soil more effectively using this method.
(They also went to Mr. Raghu to know more about their farming practices.)

37.24 lakh quintals of seeds of various crops, HYV, Paddy, Hybrid Paddy, Maize, Cotton and Bengal gram, etc. are produced.
Farmer's are empowered in seed management enabling them to acquire good quality seed.
Wow! These farming practices are really good for soil. Thank you Mr. Sham and Raghu for this help. Bye.
Organic farming is practices in Telangana which is the best form of farming in which crops are grown without the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
(Amar leaves the farm and was very happy to know about all these methods to conserve soil.)
No problem Amar. Goodbye.
