The following practices are aimed at soil conservation except

  2. application of manures

Contour ridging and strip cropping slow down running water. Manure adds humus that binds the soil. All three protect soil.

Bush clearing removes plant cover and leaves bare soil, so rain and wind wash or blow it away.
