PrepTest 106 - Section 1 - Question 8

Show summary

Generally speaking, if the same crop is sown in a field for several successive years, growth in the later years is poorer than growth in the earlier years, since nitrogen in the soil becomes depleted. ████ ██████ ███████ ██ █ ███████████████ █████ ███ ████ █████████ ███ ██████ ██ ████████ ██ ███ █████ █████████████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ████ █████ ████ █████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██ ███ █████ █████ ████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████

"Surprising" Phenomenon

Alfalfa increases the nitrogen in the soil, yet it struggles when planted in the same field year after year.

Objective

A hypothesis explaining this similarity must imply that alfalfa will struggle when planted in successive years. This may be a consequence of increased nitrogen in the soil, or it may be unrelated to nitrogen.
