Detailed Solution

Moisture conservation is possible with the help of mulching.

Mulching is the method of applying any spreading on the soil surface. The material used as a mulch could be compost, sawdust, or paper. It helps to control moisture by not allowing the heat from the atmosphere easily reach the soil, thereby blocking the water vapour from escaping the soil, hence conserving soil moisture.

Mulching also helps to maintain soil temperature by acting as an insulating material. Furthermore, it also helps to prevent soil erosion and weed growth.

However, it does not do any significance work in improving soil structure, soil sterility or soil fertility.
