Question

List two ways how a soil loses its nutrients (class 7)

Answer 1

• In all agricultural systems, nutrients are removed over time in harvested products, such as grain.
• Off-site losses of nutrients can also occur through soil erosion, runoff, leaching and burning of crop residues.

Answer 2

Answer:

These nutrients occur naturally in the soil but are also increased or decreased manually depending on your crops' needs. Many factors can affect each of these nutrients' availability, including organic matter decomposition, soil erosion, leaching, and improper fertilizer application.
