Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Crop rotation (crop cycle), applying organic manure to improve topsoil cohesion, and building barriers to check physical erosion are all standard techniques used to conserve soil.In contrast, overusing chemical pesticides is an agrochemical practice meant to control crop pests. It does not conserve soil; instead, it can lead to chemical contamination and lower soil fertility over time.
