Answer:

There are many ways of soil conservation. Some major ones are given in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

From an agricultural point of view, there are many ways of soil conservation. Among them, ten ways are given below, which will be more conservative:

1. Planting more trees: It will hold the soil from being washed out during rain.

2. No-tillage operation/ zero tilling soil preparation: It won't change the layer of the soil. If layers don't change, it will conserve for more time.

3. Rotation of the crops: Soil conservation also indicates the soil nutrient conservation. Some crops take more nutrients, and some crops take fewer nutrients from the soil. So crop rotation is needed to conserve soil nutrient or soil health.

4. Giving water in the soil/ soil watering: It helps to grow weeds, grasses. By doing this, soil can be conserved.

5. Promote the growth of helpful soil organisms: It helps to increase microbial activities, which improve soil nutrients.
