Question on: JSS1 Agricultural science - Soil Conservation Methods
Examine the concept of conservation tillage in agriculture.
Conservation tillage aims to minimise soil disturbance and maintain soil health. Objectives and benefits include:
  - Minimising Soil Erosion: Conservation tillage reduces the risk of soil erosion, preserving valuable topsoil.
  - Preserving Soil Structure: Reduced tillage helps maintain soil structure and prevent compaction.
  - Enhancing Soil Fertility: Conservation tillage practices, such as no-till farming, leave crop residues on the soil surface, contributing to organic matter and nutrient retention.
   Practices involved in conservation tillage include:
  - No-Till Farming: Planting crops without ploughing the soil.
  - Reduced Tillage: Minimising the extent of soil disturbance during planting.
