The given graph shows two crop fields (X and Y ) that have been treated by different types of materials for nutrient replenishment, keeping other environmental factors same. Given are some assumptions regarding the crop fields and the materials used. Select the most correct one(s).
I.
Addition of chemical fertilizers in Y has resulted in sudden increase in yield due to increased release of N, P, K nutrients, but it gradually declined as continuous use of chemicals killed useful microbes that replenish the soil fertility. II. The difference in the two graphs indicates that the crop fields X and Y are treated with fertilizer and manure respectively, as fertilizer is beneficial for long time and gives durable yield whereas manure gives immediate yield but later causes problems. III. The highest peak in crop field X is slightly delayed because manure enriches soil fertility gradually.
