Question on: SS2 Agriculture - Preventive and Control Measures of diseases
Explain the concept of crop rotation and its significance in pest management.
Crop rotation is a farming practice involving the systematic change of crop types planted in a specific area over successive seasons. The primary significance of crop rotation in pest management lies in disrupting the life cycles of pests and diseases. Different crops have varying susceptibility to particular pests and diseases. By rotating crops, pests that rely on specific host plants may find their preferred hosts missing in the next season, reducing their populations. Additionally, crop rotation can break the cycle of soil-borne diseases and improve soil health, making it an essential cultural method for sustainable pest control.
