Besides adding the mineral nitrogen fertilizer to non-arable soil there are other ways to help make it arable. Some of these are to dig and install irrigation canals and wells‚ if the land is too hot adding trees for shade is often done (NON-ARABLE SOIL). In this lab we will record the difference when mineral nitrogen is used on non-arable
