What is Crop Rotation?

Crop rotation is a technique of growing different crops on the same field in a pre-planned succession. Soil loses its fertility if the same crops are grown repeatedly. Hence, it is necessary to do crop rotation. Crop rotation can either be a one, two or a three-year rotation.

Some advantages of crop rotation include-
1. Reduces crop failure
2. Increases the variety of crops grown
3. Increases soil fertility
4. Prevents soil erosion
5. Replenishes soil nutrients
6. Reduces crop infections
