Question

What is the advantage of turning and loosening of soil before sowing?

• A. This brings the nutrient-rich soil to the top so that plants can use the nutrients present in the lower layer.
• B. The nutrients of the top layers can get a chance to go below to facilitate the growth of burrowing animals
• C. The nutrients present in the soil can get evaporated by this process
• D. The colour of the soil particles can be maintained by this process.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

This brings the nutrient-rich soil to the top so that plants can use the nutrients present in the lower layer.

Turning and loosening of soil brings the lower layers of soil which are nutrient-rich upwards so that plants can use these nutrients.
