Suppose a new crop rotation for Field B included legumes and other deep-rooted and high-residue crops. The SOM of this field will most likely change in which of the following ways? The SOM will:

2.
a)

Yes; based on SOM, Field B had a soil quality rating of fair and Field A had a soil quality rating of poor.

Yes; based on SOM, Field B had a soil quality rating of excellent and Field A had a soil quality rating of fair.

c)

No; based on SOM, Field B had a soil quality rating of poor and Field A had a soil quality rating of fair.

d)

No; based on SOM, Field B had a soil quality rating of fair and Field A had a soil quality rating of excellent.

e)
