Reducing erosion by wind and water through hedging and ditching
Application of fertilizers at appropriate moments and in adequate doses (i.e., when the plant needs the fertilizer), to avoid run-off (see nitrogen balance method).
Maintaining or restoring soil organic content, by manure application, use of grazing, crop rotation
Reduce soil compaction issues (by avoiding using heavy mechanical devices)
Maintain soil structure, by limiting heavy tillage practices[3]
Insitu greening manuring by growing pulse crops like cowpea, horse gram, sunhemp etc.
Practice schedule irrigation, with monitoring of plant needs, and soil water reserve status to avoid water loss by drainage
Prevent soil salinization by limiting water input to needs, and recycling water whenever possible
Avoid crops with high water requirements in a low availability region
Avoid drainage and fertilizer run-off
Maintain permanent soil covering, in particular in winter to avoid nitrogen run-off
Manage carefully water table, by limiting heavy output of water
Restore or maintain wetlands (see marshlands)
Provide good water points for livestock[4]
Insitu water harvesting by digging catch pits, crescent bunds across slope
