Soil conservation

मृदा संरक्षण

In this Class 9 Agriculture topic from the chapter “Soil and Its Properties,” students learn why soil is a valuable natural resource and how wind, water, deforestation, overgrazing, and unsuitable farming practices cause soil erosion and loss of fertility. They explore practical conservation methods such as contour ploughing, terracing, strip cropping, crop rotation, mulching, shelterbelts, afforestation, and maintaining plant cover. The topic helps students connect soil properties with sustainable land and farm management.
