The type of agriculture in which water is conserved in a year so that crops can be grown in succeeding years by ploughing, mulching or harrowing is known as

  1. dry farming ✓
  2. intensive cultivation
  3. arable farming
  4. extensive cultivation
Explanation

Dry farming saves rainwater in the soil for later years. Farmers plough, mulch and harrow the land so water is kept for crops in the following season. It is used in dry areas.

Intensive and extensive farming describe how much land and effort are used, not water saving.
