Question

1 of 5 which of the following is not a reason why cover crops are important?
○ provides shade to the main crops
○ provides habitat for spiders to eat crop pests
○ prevents soil erosion
○ increases water retention

Explanation:

Cover crops are used for soil health (erosion prevention, water retention) and pest control (habitat for predators). Shading main crops is not a typical purpose of cover crops (they often grow with or before main crops, not to shade them).

A. Provides shade to the main crops
