Farmers long have known that measures must be taken to restore soil fertility. In traditional agricultural systems, this has meant a fallow period, a season when a field is allowed to rest and nothing is harvested from it. During this rest period the natural processes of plant growth, organic matter accumulation, mineral weathering, and biological activity can restore fertility. Earth's

burgeoning population demands more agricultural products, so fallow periods have been reduced or eliminated. Many areas that once were fallowed now are cultivated every year, reducing or eliminating the opportunity to restore natural soil fertility.

What will be an ideal response?


Once considered a major way to restore natural soil fertility, fallow periods have now been reduced or eliminated.
