Practice objective / multiple choice question 44 from the 2025 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer practices a 4‑year rotation of maize and a legume. Maize requires 120 kg of nitrogen per hectare, while the legume fixes 60 kg N ha⁻¹ and leaves a residual 20 kg N ha⁻¹ for the following crop. The soil initially contains 30 kg N ha⁻¹. Assuming the same proportion \(p\) of the total land is planted to legume each year, determine the smallest value of \(p\) (as a decimal) that will satisfy the nitrogen requirement of maize each year without applying additional fertilizer.
