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.
