I. Burning of trash II. Slashing of undergrowth III. Seed bed preparation IV. Soil tillage. Which of the following practices will enhance loss of soil water?

Answer Details

The practice of burning of trash can lead to loss of soil water because it exposes the soil to direct sunlight, which can cause rapid evaporation of water from the soil. Slashing of undergrowth and seed bed preparation can help to conserve soil moisture by providing mulch cover and reducing soil erosion. Soil tillage can either help to conserve or enhance loss of soil water depending on the timing, depth and frequency of tillage operations. Therefore, the correct answer is option A - I and II.
