Which of the Following Techniques is Not Intended to Reduce

Question

Which of the following techniques is not intended to reduce soil erosion?
A) planting rows of trees as windbreaks
B) no-till agriculture
C) terrace hillside crops
D) plowing over stubble immediately after harvest

Accepted Answer

Plowing over stubble immediately after harvest does not reduce soil erosion; in fact, it can increase it by leaving the soil bare and more susceptible to wind and water erosion. Techniques like planting rows of trees as windbreaks, no-till agriculture, and terracing hillside crops are all intended to reduce soil erosion by protecting the soil surface.
