Answer 2

The answers to the given questions are as follows:

1. Soil types play a major role in the successful growth of plants. If the farmer would have planted potatoes in the soil that is good for wheat, the potatoes wouldn't have grown and the crop would have withered ruining the quality of the soil.
2. The officer would have suggested growing cabbage along with wheat as the soil required for the cultivation of cabbage is of the same type as that of wheat.
3. The type of soil required for the cultivation of wheat should be of clay loam texture with a moderate capacity to hold water. for the cultivation of potatoes, a well-drained and loose type of soil is required.
