Module 12: Soil Conservation Flashcards
It is one of the most important natural resources that require conservation practices.

METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
Roots of trees firmly hold on the soil making it stagnant and prevent soil erosion.
Tree Planting
METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
A terrace is a leveled section of a hilly cultivated area.
Having its unique topography, it prevents rapid surface runoff of water.
Terracing gives the landmass a stepped appearance like the famous Philippine
Rice Terraces, thus slowing the washing down of soil.

METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
The process of preparing soil for plowing. In conserving the soil, no-till farming which is a way of growing crops without disturbing it through tillage is highly recommended.
No-till Farming
METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
This practice of farming on slopes considers the slope gradient and the elevation of soil along the slope. It is the method of plowing across the contour lines of a slope.
Contour Plowing
METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
It is a method of growing a series of dissimilar crops in an area. It helps in the improvement of soil structure and fertility.
Crop Rotation
METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
It is done to regulate the soil pH, which is an indicator of th elevel of nutrients in the soil.
Maintaining Soil pH
METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
A good measure of soil conservation. By doing this we are preventing soil erosion caused by wind.

METHODS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOIL
Planting native crops is beneficial for soil conservation. If non-native plants are grown, fields should be bordered by indigenous crops to prevent soil erosion, thus achieving soil conservation.
