How do conservation tillage practices lead to agricultural sustainability?

Answer
A
Conservation tillage practices reduce the amount of water required to grow crops.
B
Conservation tillage practices help reduce soil erosion and maintain soil nutrient levels.
C
Conservation tillage practices naturally protect crops from insect damage, reducing the need for pesticides.
D
Conservation tillage practices reduce the amount of energy needed to produce crops.

Explanation

Conservation tillage leaves more crop residue on the soil and disturbs the ground less. This helps keep soil in place and reduces erosion, while also preserving soil structure and nutrients needed for future crops. Therefore, choice B is correct: conservation tillage helps reduce soil erosion and maintain soil nutrient levels.
