Strip cropping can lead to several disadvantages, including increased management complexity, as it requires careful planning and maintenance of different crop types in alternating strips. It may also result in uneven irrigation and nutrient distribution, potentially affecting crop yields. Additionally, if not properly managed, strip cropping can lead to pest and weed issues that may be harder to control due to the diversity of crops. Lastly, there may be higher initial costs associated with implementing and transitioning to this practice.
Strip cropping and Contour plowing are the methods of Conserving soil.

The purpose of strip cropping is erosion control and the conservation of rain water. Strip cropping is done through the process of planting crops in a narrow strip and growing the crops close together.

It limits both wind and water erosion.
Strip cropping
An example of strip cropping is planting alternating rows of corn and soybeans in a field. This practice helps to reduce soil erosion by breaking up the continuity of the rows and improving water infiltration.
Not necessary, perhaps, but still advisable.
