The advantages of crop rotation Many advantages may be given for the use of a properly planned crop rotation scheme. Among these are the following. Different crops require different amounts of plant nutrients. A diversity of crops is of value in the maintenance of fertility, since the drain is not so great on any nutrients. The use of a cultivated crop in the rotation aids in weed, insect, and disease control. Without a rotation, weedy plants, insects and diseases tend to become more numerous, since there is less check to their continued increase in population. The growing of legumes in the rotation helps to increase the nitrogen content of the soil, as properly inoculated legumes take nitrogen from the air. Rotations that include sod crops aid in the control of erosion. The sod greatly slows the movement of water and may be interspersed with cultivated areas to prevent erosion. Crop residues may be returned to the soil to aid in the maintenance of organic matter. It is desirable that straw produced on the farm be returned in the manures. Stubble and other crop residues may be plowed under to advantage on most farms. 2. In which paragraphs of the text there is information: a) about the aim of using tilled crops in crop rotation; b) why many grain manufactures suffer losses during harvesting; c) about the role of stubble and plant residues. 3. Comment on the role of legumes in crop rotation. 4. Say what new information you have learnt about crop rotation. Unit 12 Grammar Revision: Gerund Text A: Fertilizers and their Application Text B: Crop Requirements Герундий (Gerund) Герундий – неличная форма глагола, имеет свойства как глагола, так и существительного. Подобной формы в русском языке нет. Герундий может переводиться на русский язык существительным, глаголом в личной форме или неопределенной формой глагола, деепричастием. Герундий образуется от основы глагола с помощью суффикса -ing:totranslate – translating,toread – reading. Таблица 5 – Формы герундия
Формы герундия совпадают с формами Participle I и Perfect Participle. Однако, это разные формы глагола, отличающиеся и по значению и по синтаксическим функциям.

Read the text and translate it into Russian. Fertilizers and their Application As crops are known to remove nutrients from the soil, the latter may become deficient in some elements. Application of commercial fertilizer is to improve soil fertility and to ensure better quality of the crops to be grown. Fertilizers are usually classified according to the food element which forms their main constituent. So, they may be grouped as nitrogenous fertilizers and so on. To be effective, fertilizers should be applied where and when the plant needs them. Single yearly applications were found to be insufficient for some crops, being unnecessary for others. Young growing plants should not be given concentrated, highly soluble fertilizers because of salt injury. To make repeated applications throughout the season is of great use in case of perennials or long-season annuals. There are various methods of fertilization. Broadcast application means spreading the material uniformly over soil surface, usually before the crop is planted. Sometimes the fertilizer is placed directly over the growing crop, which is known as top dressing. When plants are subject to injury fertilizers can be put alongside the plants as a side-dressing, the latter being often made along with cultivation. Sometimes a mixed fertilizer containing two or more fertilizer elements is to be applied, the time of placement being highly essential. Mixtures with low amount of nitrogen are usually applied to the soil before or during planting, followed by a top dressing or side-dressing with a liquid or granulated nitrogen fertilizer. Winter cereals usually receive a top dressing in the spring. Row crops, such as corn, receive a side dressing after the plants made some growth. With many crops nitrogen is applied several times during the growing season because it is known to be subject to leaching and conversion to unavailable forms. But one should not forget that too much nitrogen tends to cause lodging, late maturity, poor seed development in some crops, and greater fertilizers are considered to be most effective when they are applied before the crop is sown, so that they can be worked into the soil and be evenly distributed by plowing. Lime used to correct soil acidity can be applied at any time of the year and to a crop at any stage of the growth. 3. Fill in the blanks using appropriate words from the text. 1. … fertilizers are of great use for plants but they should not be applied at a very high rate. 2.

Get acquainted with text B and answer the following questions: Can grain crops fix nitrogen? 2. What elements are most extensively used in the production of grains? 3. What elements are required in relatively small amounts? 4. What part of the plant is very rich in phosphorus? 5. Where is calcium found? 6. What is calcium essential for? 7. What element is necessary to the metabolism of crops? Crop Requirements The grain crops in general are rather heavy uses of the mineral elements. Unlike the legumes they cannot fix the nitrogen and for their best development use large quantities of nutrients. The elements most extensively used in the production of the grains are nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and potassium. Magnesium is of considerable importance, but relatively small amounts are required. With the exception of soybeans, the grain crops as a whole are not high in their content of nitrogen, yet when considered on an acre basis the requirements are great. The seed is very rich in phosphorus, and we might therefore expect grain crops to respond to phosphorus-bearing fertilizers. Considerable calcium is found in the leaves of the grain plant and it is believed to be essential to root development. Potassium is known to be very necessary to the metabolism of crops. The grain crops on the whole remove large quantities of plant nutrients from the soil. The grain crops take large quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from the soil. Lesser amounts of calcium and magnesium are required. Even a crop like alfalfa requires considerable plant food, while buckwheat requires much calcium for its straw. In general, corn removes relatively more from the soil than the other grain crops. It is evident that corn requires a soil of high fertility. As a rule, corn is given the choice place in the rotation in order to provide it with the best possible opportunity to produce well. Flax, wheat and barley are generally given more favourable places in the rotation than rye, oats or buckwheat. Of the latter three crops rye is often grown on the poorer soils because of its ability to yield well rather adverse conditions. Buckwheat is a more specialized crop and usually is given a better spot than rye or oats. As indicated earlier, the oat crop is frequently grown primarily because if fits into many types of rotation and serves well as a companion crop for small seeded legumes and grasses. 2. Find in the last paragraph the sentences about the elements that are most extensively used in the production of grains. 3. Skim the text again and say: 1) which elements cereal crops consume in greater amounts and which in less amounts; 2) which of the crops remove more nutrients from the soil; 3) which of the crops produce good yield even under unfavorable conditions; 4) what crop may be a companion crop and may be included into many types of crop rotations. 4. Work in pairs, ask each other 3 questions on the text and answer them.
