a technique where farmers plow with the curve of the land insted of in straight lines

It is also called Contour plowing its when you plow on a curve of a hill to prevent runoff

Conservation plowing, or contour farming, is is the farming practice of plowing across a slope, following its elevation contour lines.

Contour plowing and terracing?

Contour plowing is the farming practice of plowing across a slope following its elevation contour lines. On sloped land, contour plowing is done such that rows are side by side but each row follows a path such that every point on it is at the same elevation. So, for example, to plow a round hillock you would plow concentric circles around the hill top to bottom. The resultant furrow lines look just like the contour lines on a contour map. With this plowing method the rows hold water instead of draining it downward and becoming eroded.


What is always true according to the law of conservation?

There is no one "law of conservation", there are several laws, such as conservation of energy, conservation of mass, conservation of electric charge, conservation of rotational momentum, etc.What is always true is that there is SOME quantity that doesn't change in the case of a closed system.


How do you write and exclamatory sentence with the word conservation?

I was shocked, wow what a Conservation! Conservation escalated very quickly.


Does plowing help or damage soil?

Plowing allows water and air to enter the soil, it also allows humus (organic matter) to be plowed into the soil so that earthworms can have access to it and improve soil quality. Plowing does disturb the soil and can make it susceptible to erosion due to wind taking loose soil or water erosion when it rains. Leaving soil exposed without a crop in it means that erosion can occur.

What type of plowing can be done to prevent erosion?

Contour plowing is a type of plowing that can be done to prevent erosion. This method involves plowing across a slope following its contour lines, which helps to reduce water runoff and soil erosion by slowing down the flow of water.


Difference between contour plowing and conservation plowing?

Contour Plowing is when you plow, like, a garden for example, but instead of plowing in straight lines, you go in curvy lines (you know what I mean, right?) Conservation Plowing, however, is like the normal plowing way. Straight lines, blablabla.

How do conservation and plowing and crop rotation contribute to soil conservation?

Proper plowing helps prevent soil erosion, and rotating crops helps keep the soil from becoming depleted in specific nutrients.

What are disadvantages of conservation plowing?

Disadvantages of conservation plowing include increased weed growth due to minimal soil disturbance, potential nutrient tie-up from crop residue decomposition, and difficulty in planting crops that require precise seed placement. Additionally, conservation plowing may initially reduce crop yields until soil health improves.
