The factors to control of wind erosion are:
Correct answer: C. Both (a) & (b)
- A. The soil should be kept moist as far as possible especially in the season of windstorms. Moist soil is less vulnerable to wind erosion than dry soil
- B. Wind breaks by planting tree in rows or shelter belts of any means are effective in wind erosion
- C. Both (a) & (b)
- D. None of these
Explanation
Moist soil resists wind removal, while rows of trees and shelterbelts reduce wind speed and trap moving soil particles. Thus both moisture conservation and tree-based windbreaks help control wind erosion.
