Answer:
Dense foliage of erosion resistant leguminous crops like cowpea and dry bean reduces soil loss by preventing the rains from beating the soil surfaces directly.
Explanation:
Intercropping can benefit the soil in several ways. The additional soil cover provided by the second crop helps reduce erosion. The plants help soak up extra water and nutrients. This additional “pull” of the nutrients can help reduce runoff of the nutrients into adjacent land.
