Question

Explain how soil get affected by the continuous plantation of crops in a field.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Continuous plantation of crops in a field makes the soil poor in certain nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. ... When a farmer continues to grow' crops one after the other, then all nutrients available in the soil reduce and the crop yield decreases automatically.

Answer 2

Answer:

It mainly gets affected by Soil Exhaustion.

Explanation:

• Like, overworking ourselves drains our energy, similarly, bad farming habits like over-cropping exhausts the soil of its potential and nutrients and makes it deficient.
• It also fails to yield a group crop.
• This results, in the soil being left barren because it wasn't given enough time to recharge nutrients.

So continuous plantation of crops for 2 years, exhausts the soil. Farmers can avoid this by methods like:

• Crop Rotation [Switching between normal crops and leguminous crops to provide nutrients] and
• Inter Cropping [growing normal crops that exhaust soil less with leguminous crops that provides the soil with nutrients].

Hope this helps you!
