To what extent can crop rotation and diversification strategies reduce soil nutrient depletion and pest pressure while improving crop nutrient content and market quality?
Himanshu Tiwari
Crop rotation and diversification strategies can significantly reduce soil nutrient depletion, pest pressure, and improve crop nutrient content. By alternating crops with different nutrient needs, they enhance soil fertility and reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Furthermore, rotating crops disrupts pest life cycles, leading to a reduction in pest and disease incidence and a decrease in the need for pesticides.

Thanks!
Crop rotation and diversification can reduce plant nutrient depletion by: increasing biodiversity and reducing soil degradation. Thus, crop rotation and diversification systems can help maintain soil health and increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner.
