Solution

Crops:

  1. A crop is a plant that can be produced and harvested in large quantities for profit or food.
  2. A crop is defined as the large-scale cultivation of plants of the same kind in one location.

Soil gets affected by the plantation of crops :

  1. The practice of continual crop planting depletes the soil in fields of important components, including phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and others.
  2. Plants require nutrients in order to operate properly and flourish.
  3. Farmers' constant planting to grow agricultural plants one batch at a time reduces the available nutrients in the soil, lowering crop yields.
  4. The continual planting of crops in a field affects the soil because it lacks required minerals and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and others, resulting in a decline in crop output.
  5. When a farmer grows crops one after the other, all of the nutrients in the soil are depleted, and the crop output suffers as a result.
