conservation tillage and irrigation
Conservation tillage refers to a set of farming practices designed to minimize soil disturbance during planting and cultivation activities. This approach aims to protect the soil from erosion, maintain moisture levels, and enhance organic matter content, while reducing the need for excessive tillage. Irrigation, on the other hand, involves the controlled application of water to crops, enhancing their growth and productivity. It refers to the artificial supply of water to farmlands, using techniques such as sprinklers, drip systems, or flood irrigation, to ensure an adequate and efficient water supply, particularly during periods of insufficient rainfall.
