Do tobacco crops ruin soil in a few years?
It's possible, but it does not have to be the case.Planting any land to row crops, year after year, requires good management or the quality of the soil will deteriorate. This is true of tobacco and many other crops. High value crops, like tobacco and cotton, are sometimes planted by poorly skilled farmers for a quick buck. So does the crop ruin the soil, or the poorly skilled grower?One type of management practice is the rotation of crops grown in the field. This means planting different crops in the field in different growing seasons, according to a set pattern. Rotations are done to replenish soil nutrients and soil quality, and also for disease and pest control.it just so happens that tobacco shares a number of pests with other crops, like peanuts and tomatoes, so in a way tobacco can temporarily "ruin" the soil for some crops.
When farmers change crops from year to year to replace nutrients they have been taken out of the soil itis called?

Why does the soil usually become useless for growing crops after only a few years?
With proper soil management this should not happen. It usually occurs if the same crop is grown in the same place year after year and no material is returned to the soil. This depletes the organic matter (humus) in the soil, depriving the crops of nutrients. Crop rotation and the application of fertilizers can avoid this.
What is a way to control soil erosion in which farmers plant different crops in different places each year?
Farmers
Why do farmers have to add to fertilizer to soil to ensure good crop yields year after year.?
Because the growing of a crop removes vital plant foodstuffs from the soil and these must be replaced or subsequent crops will reduce in quality and quantity.
What advantages are gained from planting year after year?
This is not an advantage...crops should be rotated or you will deplete the nutrients in the soil.
What are the advantages of planting wheat year after year?
This is not an advantage...crops should be rotated or you will deplete the nutrients in the soil.

When the Nile floods every year what good does it do?
It gives good soil for crops. It makes a good tings happens when you use dah helmet.
What best describes the agriculture of the mayans a.each year they rotated the kinds of crops planted b when an area of soil wore out they cleared and planted a new area c they grazed?
More than likely b: When an area of soil wore out they cleared and planted a new area.
What happens when you plant crops in the same field over and over again?
All the nutrients get absorbed by the plants making the field lose more nutrients in the soil year after year until the soil is not nutrient enough to grow plants in.
What is the system for crop rotation?
It is when one species of crop is rotated with a different species of crop every year. For instance, a field that was planted with canola one year is planted with wheat another year. That same field may be sown into hay for a few years before being turned back to crop. This is so that the nutrients in the soil are not "mined" out of the soil to the point where crops cannot be grown anymore. Different crops have different nutrient needs than others. For instance, legume/oilseed crops like canola and peas fix nitrogen and put nitrogen back into the soil, whereas cereal crops like wheat or corn use it up.
What can be done to the soil so it can support crops year after year?
plant something different every year
What ecological soil problem was caused by southern farmers in the 1880s from growing cotton and tobacco year after year resulting in an economic problem?
Replanting the same crops year after year in the same soil depleted the soil's nutrients. They did not practice crop rotation. Therefore, crops became smaller and lower in quality each year. This impacted their incomes and national economy, which relied (and still relies) on these crops.
