Question
What is soil degradation?
Solution
Soil degradation can be defined as the decline in soil fertility when the nutritional status declines and the depth of the soil go down due to erosion and misuse. Soil degradation is the main factor leading to the depleting soil resource base in India.
The degree of soil degradation varies from place to place according to the topography, wind velocity, and amount of rainfall.
