AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Pulses are leguminous crops that fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, thereby restoring soil fertility. This makes them a logical rotation partner, as they replenish the nitrogen depleted by millets and other cereals.
The textbook explicitly states: "Being leguminous crops, all these crops except arhar help in restoring soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air. Therefore, these are mostly grown in rotation with other crops." For 1 mark, simply name the property (nitrogen fixation / restoring soil fertility) — one clear sentence is enough.
