How can crop rotations be used to improve soil health and fertility, reduce pest and disease pressure, and increase yields?
Sudip Ghimire
There are different types of crop rotations, and the specific sequence of crops will depend on factors such as soil type, climate, and farming goals. However, a common rotation might involve planting a nitrogen-fixing legume crop, followed by a cereal crop, and then a vegetable crop. The legume crop helps to replenish nitrogen in the soil, the cereal crop can benefit from the nitrogen and also help break up soil compaction, and the vegetable crop can benefit from the improved soil structure and reduced pest and disease pressure.
