Question

Write a short note on any two methods to improve soil quality.

Answer 1

1. Addition of Organic Manure: Organic manure such as compost and farmyard manure adds humus to the soil, improves its structure, increases water-holding capacity and enhances soil fertility.
2. Crop Rotation: Crop rotation involves growing different crops on the same field in a planned sequence. It helps maintain soil fertility, prevents nutrient depletion and reduces pest and disease attacks.
