Generation

Crop rotation is the practice of growing different types of crops in the same field across sequential seasons or years, rather than planting the same crop repeatedly. This technique helps prevent soil nutrient depletion since different plants consume and contribute different nutrients—for example, legumes like beans actually add nitrogen to the soil, while corn depletes it. Rotation also breaks pest and disease cycles because many harmful organisms are crop-specific, so changing crops starves them out or disrupts their life cycles. Overall, it's a sustainable farming method that maintains soil health and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
