Soil Conservation

3. What land capability class is most suited for crop production?
7. This land capability class is sandy and rocky but level. Sometimes it can be used for pasture or forage production. It is not inherently prone to erosion.
8. This type of erosion is especially popular near asphalt. It happens when water picks up soil particles and carries them downhill.
11. These protect crops and livestock during high winds.
12. This erosion is the result of uncorrected rill erosion
13. The two type of erosion prevention techniques are vegetative and ....
14. This technique keeps roots in the ground year round. It can improve OM, Nitrogen, Tilth, and Soil Structure.
16. This type of erosion happens when water droplets strike the earth and carrie off particles or plug pore space.
17. Used to prevent both wind and water erosion. The key factor is making sure there is always crop residue present. This practice may require a new piece of equipment.
19. This type of cover crop is tilled under prior to new planting.

1. This erosion type causes two problems. One it removes soil. Two it deposits the soil elsewhere.
2. This practice makes the side of hills and mountains look like a stair case.
4. An orderly repeated sequence of different crops grown on the same field.
5. These protect buildings from wind and can reduce your heating and cooling bill.
6. What land capability class has moderate slopes but is still good for occasional cultivation.
9. This type of erosion happens when water exceeds soil intake ability. It can be smoothed with a plow to hide damage.
10. Alternating bands of different crops that allow for heavier vegetation and reduce runoff.
12. You want to use close growing grasses on this erosion prevention technique.
15. This type of erosion is practically invisible.
18. These types of plants increase available nitrogen in the soil.
20. This land capability class is least suitable for any use.
