The method of soil conservation in which ploughing is done parallel to the contours of a hill slope to form a natural barrier for water to flow down the slope is called?
Contour ploughing
Contour ploughing means ploughing along the contour lines (lines of equal elevation) of a slope rather than up and down it. The resulting furrows run across the slope and act as miniature dams, slowing runoff and trapping soil and water.
Mulching covers the soil surface; contour barriers are built structures (stones/grass), not ploughing; terrace farming reshapes the slope into flat steps.
