Question

Munna observes that the yield of wheat, growing in his field, has reduced
in the current year. He gets the soil tested and the report confirms the
deficiency of one particular nutrient. Accordingly, he is advised to grow
peas after harvesting wheat.
(i) Name the nutrient found insufficient.
(ii) How do you think growing peas will help in replenishing the soil?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Nitrogen

(2) Peas are leguminous plants so they contain Rizobium bacteria in their root nodules which are symbiotic nitrogen fixtures. So they convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds and therefore increase the nitrogen content of soil.
