Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsAgricultural lands are generally left as fallow lands. This is done due to which of the following reasons?
Correct
b) Soil gets time to recoup its natural fertility.
Fallow is the stage of crop rotation in which the land is deliberately not used to raise a crop.
Ground may be fallowed as part of a larger crop rotation plan or as a method to conserve moisture as in the summer fallow technique used in dryland farming.
The practice of leaving fields fallow dates back to ancient times when farmers realized that using soil over and over again depleted its nutrients.
If the duration of fallow is substantially reduced owing to multiple cropping, the soil does not get enough time to recuperate and allow natural fertilization like nitrogen fixation. If fallow is increased, it will help in nutrient replenishment.
