Detailed Solution

 The above statement is False.
 Shelterbelts are created by planting many rows of trees or bushes to control wind movement and minimise soil erosion. Windbreaks and hedgerows are other names for them. During the winter, it prevents snow from drifting into the farm and damaging the crops. Shelterbelts, like strip cropping, require level terrain and so cannot be implemented on a broad scale in the Central and Western Himalayas.
 The correct statement is that intercropping is practised in coastal areas by planting rows of a tree by checking the wind movement.
