There are so called recommended practices for growers to follow to protect soil, in the long run it would help them to enhance crop yields and also preserve environment. These are basically aimed at maintaining a good ground cover throughout the period. How can we have a good cover on soil? Let us see what are the ways and means of achieving this. Technically these are known as Agronomic and cultural practices. These are nothing but Good Agricultural Practices – so called GAP, one has to take care of in any form of farming or cultivation. First of all I would like to list them as follows;
