The given graph shows two crop fields (X and Y) that have been treated by different
types of materials for nutrient replenishment, keeping other environmental factors
same. Given are some assumptions regarding the crop fields and the materials
used. Select the most correct one(s).
I. Addition of chemical fertilizers in Y has resulted in sudden increase in yield due to
increased release of N, P, K nutrients, but it gradually declined as continuous use of
chemicals killed useful microbes that replenish the soil fertility.
II. The difference in the two graphs indicates that the crop fields X and Y are treated
with fertilizer and manure respectively, as fertilizer is beneficial for long time and
gives durable yield whereas manure gives immediate yield but later causes
problems.
III. The highest peak in crop field X is slightly delayed because manure enriches soil
fertility gradually.
