Question

The practice of sowing a cereal crop alternately to a leguminous crop​

Answer 1

Answer:

The practice of sowing a cereal crop alternately to a leguminous crop is known as crop rotation.

The root nodules present in luminous plants help in nitrogen fixation and directly convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds which get deposited in the soil and in turn, increases the soil fertility.

Hence, these are grown alternately with cereal crops helping in restoring the fertility of the soil and also saving the use of nitrogenous fertilizers.

Answer 2

Answer:

The practice of sowing a cereal crop alternately to a leguminous crop is called crop rotation.

This is done so, to increase the soil’s fertility. This helps the soil to retain the nutrients that it lost over time. The leguminous crops convert the nitrogen in the atmosphere to nitrogenic compounds that are beneficial for soil fertility. These compounds are then deposited in the soil.
