Crop Rotation and Crop Yield - JSS2 Agricultural science Lesson Note

Crop rotation is a vital practice in crop production that involves growing different crops in sequential seasons on the same piece of land. This technique has several benefits, including improved soil fertility, reduced pest and disease pressure, and increased overall crop yield.

Key Terms:

  - Nitrogen Fixation: The process by which certain plants, such as legumes, convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by plants.

  - Disease Resistance: Growing crops that are not susceptible to the same diseases in consecutive seasons.
