Leguminous crops, such as peas and beans, fix Nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants. "Cover crops" - winter rye for example - planted on the land when it is fallow, and then "plowed under" later - also improve the fertility, if given a season to decompose.

What is a method to maintain the fertility of the soil by protecting the soil from erosion and nutrient loss?
Planting different crops
How does soil pH affect soil fertility?
soil fertility increases soil PH
What is a Biological Big Bang?
When the fertility of the females is greater than the fertility of the soil.
Two scientists test soil fertility in a forest and a nearby field Both scientists find that the soil fertility in the forest is higher than the soil fertility in the field Scientist A says that th?
Both scientists' conclusions could be valid
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
What is the difference between soil fertility and soil productivity?
Soil fertility is the ability of soil to produce crops. Soil productivity is the soils ability to yield a certain amount of crops.
What type of crop improve soil and soil fertility?
Permanent hay or pasture "crops". Pasture is the most effective way of improving soil and soil fertility because of the animal manure that is incorporated into the soil to help plants grow. But the most important part of improving soil is the way pastures are grazed. Managed Intensive Grazing is the best way to improve soil and soil fertility on a more even distribution of grazing practices.
Define crop rotation?
The successive planting of different crops on the same land to improve soil fertility and help control insects and diseases.
Could you please help me get a definition for soil fertility decline?
Soil fertility is if it has enough nutrients and water to support crops.
What are the differences between soil fertility and soil productivity?
The difference between soil fertility and soil productivity is that soil fertility involves the soils and fertilizing them per the types of plants, crops, and soils, being used. The soil productivity has to do with the drainage of the soils, the amounts and types of fertilizers, and the progress of the plants and crops due to fertilization.
Which crop improve soil and soil fertility?
Pulses (legumes,beans,peas etc) enrich soil fertility. They have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria (rhizobia) and these are found in the root nodules of pulses. Members of the Rhizobium family fix nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil and thus improve soil fertility.
How does rotating crops increase yield?
Because it increases the fertility of soil.
What is a method to maintain the fertility of the soil by protecting the soil from erosion and nutrient loss?
Planting different crops
Examples of soil pllution?
Fertility of soil less causing unproductivity of plants,crops, trees,etc.
What is soil building?
Plants (crops) planted to improve the quality of soil.
How urine helps to improve soil condition?
Urine contains nitrogen which can improve soil for future crops
What are the benefits of crop rotation?
One of the main benefits of crop rotation is that a farmer is able to keep crops planted in their fields continuously. It can improve the structure of the soil, reduce the build-up of pests and pathogens, and improve the fertility of the soil.
