This document outlines various soil conservation measures and sustainable agricultural practices grouped into categories to retain moisture, prevent erosion, replenish nutrients, and regenerate soil, including contour ploughing, strip cultivation, crop rotation, terracing, mulching, controlled grazing, cover cropping, afforestation, fallowing, irrigation, and organic farming. The conclusion states that the document discusses the effects of agricultural practices on the environment and outlines soil conservation measures and sustainable practices.

1. Soil conservation measures and sustainable
agricultural practices.
1. Contour ploughing – to retain moisture and avoid erosion.
2. Strip cultivation – protects the soil from erosion.
3. Crop rotation – to restore and replace nutrients.
4. Terracing – to retain moisture and check the flow of water downhill.

2. GROUP A
1. Mulching – covering the soil to retain moisture.
2. Ploughing across the slope to avoid erosion.

3. GROUP B
1. Controlled grazing – to allow for land regeneration.
2. Soil additives – adds nutrients to the soil.

4. GROUP C
1. Cover cropping – retains moisture and protects soil from erosion.
2. Afforestation – replaces cut down trees.

5. GROUP D
1. Fallowing – Allows soil to regenerate.
2. Irrigation – Supplies additional water especially during droughts.
3. Organic farming – Use of leguminous

6. CONCLUSION
