Why should we adopt crop rotation?

Crop rotation is a process in which different crops are grown on the same piece of land according to a previous set model. In this type of crops to be grown are decided according to different environmental conditions like temperature, sunlight, irrigation facilities etc.

The benefit that we have in crop rotation is that we can have more than two crops in a year with good yield.


Also, as different crops are grown there will be replenishment of the nutrients as a nutrient requirement of each crop differs from the other. Growing same crop, again and again, makes land deficient in that particular nutrient. So, in order to keep the land nutrient rich and having a good yield of different crops, we must adopt crop rotation.
