| Construction of embankments | Reduction in the erosion of soil due to heavy rains. | Increase in Fertility |
| Planting trees | Wind speed decreased | Increase in Fertility |
| Farmland is kept fallow for some period | The fertility of soil gets maintained. | Increase in Fertility |
| Use of organic manures | Humus content increased. | Increase in Fertility |

| Litter is burnt on the farm. | The proportion of ash in the soil gets increased. | Decrease in Fertility |
| Use of organic manures | Proves favorable for micro-organisms | Increase in Fertility |
| Excessive irrigation | The salt content in the soil increases | Decrease in Fertility |
| Chemical fertilizers used excessively | Decrease the number of microorganisms and so the proportion of humus in the soil | Decrease in Fertility |
