Is nitrate reduction beneficial to farmers?
Nitrate reduction is not good for farmers. Nitrate reduction is the substitution of nitrates for oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor for bacteria. This means the nitrate (NO3-) then becomes nitrite (NO2-), and if the process stays anaerobic and continues, then the nitrite is reduced to nitrogen gas (N2) which then escapes from the soil. Many plants thrive on nitrates, however if they are reduced to nitrogen gas, then the available nitrogen is reduced and the plants don't do as well. This is why a good deal of fertilizers that farmers put on their fields are chock-full of nitrates.
What do farmers put on acidic soil?
The farmers put lime water on acidic soil.
How do people other than farmers put minerals into soil?
That's a very odd question, farmers don't put minerals in soil the minerals are already there
3 Describe two ways in which nitrates can be replaced naturally in the soil?
1. lightning makes nitrates from nitrogen and oxygen in the air. the nitrates then get washed into the soil by rain. 2. animal and plants decompose- depositing organic nitrogen into the soil
The conversion of nitrates present in the soil or water to free molecular salts to nitrates?
nitrogen cycle
In what ways do farmers contribute nitrates to the soil?
by using fertilizer

How are soil nitrates replaced?
Soil nitrates are replaced in various ways. One of the most common ways to replace soil nitrate is by suing synthetic fertilizers.

Where do beans get their nitrates from?
They absorb them from the soil where they grow.
The conversion of nitrates present in the soil or water to free molecular salts to nitrates?
nitrogen cycle
How do nitrates get in your water systems?
Acid rain contains nitrates, as does some runoff water from fertilized soil.
What returns to the soil in animal waste?
Nitrates and Oxygen
What Converts dead matter to soil nitrates or nitrites?
Rhizobium
What changes nitrogen gas into nitrates?
lightning and/or soil in the ground
