How do farmers protect the mineral content of the soil?
By avoiding bush burning,erosion and other activities harmful to the soil
How does one measure mineral content in the soil?
You can use a Soil Test kit (Rapitest Soil Test Kit) to find the pH and levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
What are two way farmers can protect the mineral content of the soil?
plant long rooted plants(this will help hold down the soil) and keep it damp
How do farmers replace nitrogen in the soil?
There are two ways plants put nitrogen into the soil one is decomposition where a plant dies then decomposes putting the nitrogen back into the soil that it once took out. The other is from the air, Legumes are plants that take nitrogen from the air with their leaves and release it into the soil with its roots.
What are the different ways by nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Nitrogen can enter the soil from plants such as legumes which fix nitrogen in their roots. Also dead plants and animals add nitrogen into the soil.
Which crop enriches nitrogen content in the soil?
Which of the following enriches the soil
Which plant enriches the nitrogen content in soil?
sugarcane
How can you improve the nitrogen content in your soil?

Why might farmers plant legumes such as peas to to improve the nitrogen levels in their soil?
legumes contain high level of nitrogen which are leeched into the soil. this allows the farmer to then plant crops such as corn that use that nitrogen

How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content

Why is mustard important?
Plants like clover, alfalfa, and beans contain nodules in their roots and these nodules are full of nitrogen fixing bacteria. Plants that contain root nodules are called legumes. Fields are often planted with clover to increase the nitrogen content of the soil. Once the plants have grown they are ploughed back into the soil. As they decay, the nutrients they contain are released into the soil. One advantaged of using legumes is that they are a cheaper source of nitrogen for the soil than artificial fertilisers.There are two main reasons for a farmer to plant mustard: 1) to grow a crop of mustard seed for the production of mustard, a condiment common in the US and Europe; 2) to have a "cover crop" to plow down for organic matter and nutrient content, to enrich the soil. Unlike legumes, mustard's only nitrogen content is that which it was able to draw from the soil.

Why do farmer gardener turn the soil up regularly?
Farmers turn their soil to replenish valuable nutrients such as nitrogen and oxygen to the soil. If a farmer was to continually use the soil over and over again the nutrient level would be depleted and be deamed useless. Soil need nutrients to survive and allow other plants to grow.
