Question

Crop rotation is the practice of planting different crops where

• A. Leguminous crop is rotated with cereal crop
• B. Leguminous crop is rotated with other leguminous crop
• C. Cereal crop is rotated with oil producing crop
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Leguminous crop is rotated with cereal crop

In crop rotation usually non-leguminous crops like wheat, rice, millets, etc. are rotated with leguminous crops like Gram, Pea, Pulses, Beans, Groundnut, Alfalfa, Clover, etc. Leguminous plants bear nodulated roots.Therefore, crop rotation maintains the nitrogen fertility of the soil when the legume crop is rotated with others.
