What is it called when Burning the stumps to release the nutrients into the soil needed to grow crops?
slash and burn
Why is the Mississippi flood plain one of the best places to grow crops?
Rich nutrients are carried down with the water, suppling a great place for crops.
What would happen to the crops if there was too much rain?
All field crops need soil, water, air and light (sunshine) to grow. The soil gives stability to the plants; it also stores the water and nutrients which the plants can take up through their roots. The sunlight provides the energy which is necessary for plant growth

Why are phosphate and nitrate out on a field that has been planted with corn?
Phosphate and nitrate are two of the fertilizers needed to grow corn. Most soils that are farmed have been depleated of their nutrients by years of intensive farming and the removal of organic matter. Thus, one way to make it possible to still grow crops is to provide the crops with the main nutirents they need in chemical form. Phosphate is a chemical that provides phosphorus and nitrate is a chemical that provides nitrogen.
Why does the soil have to be rich for crops to grow?
Rich soil means that the soil is rich in nutrients that a plant needs. If the soil is deficient in those nutrients, the crops grow poorly and produce little fruit, sometimes none.
How does the yoak help a fertilised egg?
It provides nutrients for the fetus to grow.
Could the soil on mars actually grow crops?

Why do agricultural crops need fertilizer?
Fertilizer, most of it nitrogen-based, either natural or commercially-made, provides nutrients for plant materials. Without it, in most cases, production agriculture would not be viable. This is from a real-world perspective. For Farmville players, the benefits are obvious in that an extrapolation can be made.
How does soil affect crops that farmers grow?
The soil determines what crops can grow, and how well they will grow. Organic matter in the soil, amount of clay, and pH (acidity) are all factors in how fertile the soil is. Different crops use different amounts of the various nutrients; this is why crop roatation and summer fallow are used. That way it gives the soil time to replenish its nutrients and then that crop can be grown again and not suffer from lacking nutrients.
Farmers rotate their crops regularly and grow legumes in order to?
get proteins and nutrients back in the soil
