Question on: JSS1 Agricultural science - Crop Rotation and Intercropping

Crop rotation is a farming practice involving the sequential planting of different crops in specific fields over multiple seasons. The primary importance lies in disrupting pest and disease cycles. Benefits include:

  - Pest and Disease Control: Crop rotation helps break the life cycles of pests and pathogens, reducing the build-up of specific organisms in the soil.

  - Nutrient Management: Different crops have varying nutrient requirements, preventing excessive depletion of specific nutrients in the soil.

  - Soil Health: Crop rotation enhances soil health by reducing the risk of soilborne diseases and promoting diverse microbial activity.
