How to Control Wind Erosion in Agricultural Lands?

Proper land use and moisture conservation practices help in the conservation of wind erosion in agricultural lands. In areas which are subjected to severe wind erosion, especially in the arid and semi- arid areas additional protective measures in the form of wind breaks and shelter belts are needed. The wind erosion control measures may broadly be divided into two categories. [...]
