Mulching

StarStarStarStar

Application of organic materials to the soil surface conserves moisture, reduces weed growth, and enhances soil health.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Cover crops prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and increase water infiltration.

StarStarStarStar

Composting

StarStarStarStar

Adding compost improves soil structure, nutrient content, and microbial activity.

StarStarStarStar

Green Manuring

StarStarStarStar

Growing and plowing into the soil green manure crops enhances soil fertility and organic matter.

StarStarStarStar

Contour Farming

StarStarStarStar

Planting along land contours reduces runoff and soil erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Buffer Strips

StarStarStarStar

Strips of vegetation between fields or along waterways absorb runoff, filter pollutants, and prevent erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Polyculture

StarStarStarStar

Cultivating a variety of crops increases biodiversity, reduces pests, and can improve overall soil health.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

IPM reduces chemical use, preserves beneficial organisms, and prevents soil contamination.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Integrating trees with crops helps in reducing erosion, improving biodiversity, and can modify the microclimate.

StarStarStarStar

Conservation Tillage

StarStarStarStar

Reduces erosion, increases water retention, and can enhance biodiversity in the soil.

StarStarStarStar

Rainwater Harvesting

StarStarStarStar

Collecting and storing rainwater reduces runoff, conserves water, and maintains soil moisture levels.

StarStarStarStar

Terracing

StarStarStarStar

Terraces create level areas to reduce runoff and erosion on steep slopes.

StarStarStarStar

Organic Amendments

StarStarStarStar

Adding organic fertilizers like manure or bone meal increases soil nutrient levels and organic matter.

StarStarStarStar

Managed Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Rotational grazing allows plant recovery, improves pasture health, and prevents soil compaction.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Rotation

StarStarStarStar

Rotating different crops prevents soil depletion, interrupts pest cycles, and can improve soil fertility.
