Growing a leguminous crop in rotation
A
Improves the fertility of the soil
B
Makes the next crop disease resistant
C
Reduces the fertility of the soil
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Crop rotation helps in restoring lots nutrients of the soil as first the crop plants use up all the nitrogen in the soil . to restore the nitrogen the farmers plant a leguminous plant which contains bacteria which changes the atmospheric nitrogen in usable nitrogen compounds than being used up by the crop plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Crop rotation helps return nutrients to the soil without synthetic inputs. The practice also works to interrupt pest and disease cycles, improve soil health by increasing biomass from different crops’ root structures, and increase biodiversity on the farm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Legumes are important in crop rotations, because they reduce weeds and enrich the soil by partnering with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil. To be sure your soil has the right bacteria, you can buy an inoculant of Rhizobium bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Get Better Nitrogen Use Incorporating a legume crop inside the rotation will improve the non-fertilizing nitrogen supply through its symbiosis with rhizobium-type bacteria. In addition, pea crops will put back a portion of nutrients, including nitrogen, in the soil for the next crop grown in the rotation.
