Correct Answer: 1 and 3 only. ● The &lsquo;zero tillage' method is economical, prevents degradation and helps retain moisture in soil. ● Gypsum helps in dissolution of the salt clay found in soils that hinder the percolation of water. Hence it can solve the water percolation process. ● Crop residues or other organic matter left in or added to the field improve water penetration and moisture retention. It also reduces evaporation of farm soil water.
