Approximately how much more soil was lost using conventional tillage rather than reduced tillage? a. 16,000 kg/ha b. 5,000 kg/ha c. 50 kg/ha d. 160 kg/ha

5000 kg /ha was lost by using “conventional tillage” rather than “reduced tillage”.

Option: b

Explanation:

There are two types of tillage systems they are:

Conventional tillage: This is preferred when the region uses one or more practices like plowing, harrowing and disking. This reduces the soil fertility.  

Reduced tillage: This method reduces the soil distribution without using any tillage methods during cultivation. In this method the soil is prepared for seedling when the farmers sow the seeds.

According to the research made most of the vegetable lands are farmed by using conventional tillage hence, this reduces the soil fertility. Due to this 5000 kg /ha was lost by using “conventional tillage” rather than “reduced tillage”. Compared with the “conventional tillage” the “reduced tillage” is more beneficial.
