Soil Erosion Control Methods - JSS2 Agricultural science Lesson Note
Soil erosion is a natural process accelerated by human activities, and effective control methods are essential to preserve soil:
- Cover Cropping: Planting specific crops to cover and protect the soil, reducing erosion.
- Terracing: Creating steps or ridges on sloping land to slow down water runoff and prevent soil erosion.
- Windbreaks: Planting trees or shrubs to reduce wind speed and minimise wind erosion.
