Does the soil of organic farming last longer than conventional farming soil?
In true organic farming, the soil is built up with organic matter, which means nutrients in the soil are replenished. In non-organic farming, fertilizers are used to replenish certain nutrients only, while other nutrients may be depleted. In that sense, soil (nutrients in the soil) last longer in organic farming.
The most effective farming method in returning minerals to the soil is?
Crop rotation is an effective farming method in returning minerals to the soil. By alternating different crops with varying nutrient needs, the soil can maintain a healthy balance of essential minerals. This method also helps prevent depletion of specific nutrients and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers.
Why are fertilizers important to the farming industry?
they increase the nutrients in soil.
Is our soil depleted of nutrients?
Yes, our soil is depleted of nutrients due to factors such as intensive farming practices, erosion, and lack of proper soil management.
Why do people do rotational farming?
Because farming certain plants drains certain nutrients from the soil. Rotational farming rotates the crops being grown (sometimes fields are left fallow i.e. empty) and therefore, nutrients remain in the soil.
What makes fertilizers a benefit to the farming industries?
They increase the nutrients in soil.

What causes nutrients in the top soil to be removed?
Soil erosion, leaching, and over-farming can cause nutrients in the topsoil to be removed. Erosion by water or wind can wash away topsoil along with the nutrients it contains. Leaching occurs when water moves nutrients downwards through the soil profile beyond the reach of plant roots. Over-farming without proper nutrient replenishment can deplete the soil of essential nutrients over time.
What soil conversation techniques will replace nutrients in the soil A cover crop use B no-till farming C terracing D contour plowing?
A cover crop use can replace nutrients in the soil by adding organic matter and nitrogen through decomposition. No-till farming helps to improve soil structure and reduce erosion, allowing nutrients to remain in the soil. Terracing and contour plowing focus more on preventing soil erosion rather than directly replacing nutrients in the soil.
What is low till farming?
A method of farming in which the soil is disturbed as little as possible, and only when necessary. Compare to no-till farming in which the only soil disturbance is just that which is necessary to plant the seed.
