III. Figure15.1 shows the two crop fields [Plots A and B] have been treated

by manures and chemical fertilizers respectively, keeping other

environmental factors same. Observe the graph and answer the following

questions.

(i) Why does plot B show sudden increase and then gradual decrease in yield?

(ii) Why is the highest peak in plot A graph slightly delayed?

An: a) Plot B shows a sudden and gradual decrease in yield: Due to the sudden
increase, the chemical fertilizer supplies the minerals immediately in quantity.The
gradual decrease is due to the depletion of nutrients caused by absorption through
plants.

b) The delay in plot A decays slowly, so the release of minerals is also delayed.
Manures take time to mix up with the soil and form crumbs that increase water
holding.
IV. Draw a Schematic diagram of Mixed cropping and the intercropping
sowing design.
