Soil Conservation -
It is defiend as the control of soil erosion.
In order to maintain agriculture productivity.
In oth word soil erosion is defiend as a process of detachement transport fusion sediments of soil particle.
Sediment :-
Erosion by wind & water.
Casues of soil erosion
1. Destruction of natural protective cover
2. Cultivationof trees
3. Overgrazzing of vegetative cover, forest fire.
Improper use of land.
Keeping the land barren subjecting it to action of rain and wind
Growing of crop that accelerate soil erosion
removal of organic matter and plant nutrition by improper cropping pattern.
Cultivation along the land flow.
Faculty method of Irrigation.
