Question 20

Name the most important rotation crop. In what way does it help the soil?

Answer

Pulses are the most important rotation crop because they are leguminous plants with root-nodules, which can fix and utilize atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. It makes the soil rich in nitrogen and provides enough nitrogen to the next crop sown.
