to reduce cost of production.
To control soil erosion e.g through mulching and cover cropping
to maintain soil structure .continuous cultivation destroys soil structure and should be avoided.
conserve soil moisture ie.soil is not exposed to strong sun heat there reducing evaporation
Prevent the distribution of the roots underground structures
Prevent exposure of humus to adverse conditions eg strong sun heat which can cause volatilization.
