Crop Rotation Systems - JSS1 Agricultural science Lesson Note
1. Sequential Crop Rotation: Involves growing crops in a specific order, ensuring that each crop in the rotation provides different benefits to the soil.
2. Legume-Based Rotation: Incorporates leguminous crops that have nitrogen-fixing abilities, improving soil fertility for subsequent non-leguminous crops.
3. Cover Crop Rotation: Introduces cover crops (such as grasses or legumes) in the rotation to protect the soil from erosion, add organic matter, and enhance soil structure.
