Question

1. A farmer grows maize plants in two consecutive seasons in his field 2.
Another farmer at the same time grows bean plants in one season and
maize plant in the next season in field. Which field will likely to have soil
with high nutrients for growth of new plants in the third season? *
(a) field 1 as cultivating same crops every season increases productivity of the crops
(b)field 2 as cultivating different crops reduces the water requirement of crops
(c) field 1 as cultivating the same crops requires only same type of nturients
(d)field 2 as cultivating different crops restore the nutrients in the field
ELECT​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is d

Because multi cropping increase the nutrition of the soil.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d) Field 2 as cultivating different crops restores the nutrients in the field.

Explanation:

For case 1:

• In case 1, the farmer grows maize plants in two consecutive seasons in his field which means maize plants will use the same nutrients for 2 years from the same soil.
• This eventually decreases the amount of nutrients in soil and soil becomes infertile.

For case 2:

• In case 2, the farmer grows bean plants in one season and maize plant in another season in his field.
• So both the times, different plants use different nutrients from soil which restore and keep the balance of nutrients in soil.
• So, the third time when farmer wants to grow new plants, his field is more fertile than the other one.

So, field 2 will likely have soil with high nutrients for growth of new plants in the third season, as cultivating different crops restore the nutrients in the field.
