Answer 1

Answer:

crop rotation is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is (a) Crop rotation

Explanation:

a) Crop rotation is the practice of planting a variety of crops in the same place over numerous growing seasons.

• It reduces reliance on a single source of nutrients, insect and weed pressure, and the chances of pests and weeds developing resistance.

• Improved soil fertility and health, less erosion, higher soil carbon content, and increased nutrients accessible for crops are all benefits of this type of approach.

b) Tilling is the practice of aerating the soil to permit moisture and air to permeate, allowing seeds to germinate and encouraging root growth.

• It also helps in controlling weed growth and integrating fertilizers into the soil.

c) Plantation agriculture is a type of commercial farming that involves the year-round cultivation of a single crop.

• Some of the most frequent crops grown on plantations include tea, coffee, sugarcane, cashew, rubber, banana, and cotton.

d) The removal of weeds from a field is known as weeding.

• It's a good way to safeguard crops and manage crop yield before harvesting.
