This process is particularly crucial in leguminous crops such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa, which heavily rely on molybdenum for efficient nitrogen fixation. This antagonistic effect of sulfur on molybdenum uptake can result in impaired nitrogen fixation in leguminous crops and other metabolic imbalances in plants.

The corn crop in the diagram emerges and reaches maturity in about 120 days. Adding a cover crop adds a new inflow, and it’s more likely that a portion of that carbon will stay in the soil if that cover crop is not harvested. Adding a perennial to the crop rotation can also drive a large increase in photosynthesis.
