Answer:
Explanation:
A) His friend suggested him to grow leguminous plants along with the crop as a Bacteria called Rhizobium feeds on the roots of the leguminous plants. As it feeds, it turns the atmospheric nitrogen into a form in which the plants can use. This process is also called nitrogen fixation.
B) Two methods to replenish nutrients in the soil are by tilling the soil and by adding manures and fertilizers. Even nitrogen fixation would help.
