The fertility of the soil is improved by________________?

Correct answer: D. All

  • A. Rotation of the crops
  • B. Adding lime to the acid salts
  • C. Adding manure and growing legumes
  • D. All

Explanation

Crop rotation prevents continuous depletion of the same nutrients, lime neutralizes acidic soil, and manure adds organic matter and nutrients. Leguminous plants also improve nitrogen content through nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules. Therefore all the listed practices can improve soil fertility, while choosing only manure overlooks the other mechanisms.
