Answer 2

Answer:

Growing different crops alternatively helps in the replenishment of soil nutrients. (Option c)

Explanation:

• Crop rotation is the process by which different crops are cultivated in every crop cycle.
• The selection of crops takes place in a manner by which they use different nutrients from the soil.
• As a result, it ensures soil enrichment due to various crop rotation techniques.
• It also improves the soil organic matter caused by the micro-organisms.
• Crop rotation also increases crop yield.
• It also helps soil rejuvenate nutrients without the application of chemical fertilizers.
• Each crop adsorbs different kinds of minerals. As a result, there is a balance in the different soil nutrients.
• Planting crops like legumes increases the nitrogen in the soil because it contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
• Crop rotation also reduces soil erosion.
