Pest control is the main benefit of crop rotation. If a farmer plants one type of crop and swaps it out when it starts to attract a certain type of bug it will be awhile before more are attracted to the new plant
Crop rotation can also be used to replenish nutrients in the soil. For example, a crop that takes a lot of nitrogen can be planted one year, and the next year one that replenishes nitrogen can be planted.

∙ 12y agoOne way crop rotations can be improved is by adding cover crops into the rotation. Cover crops are crops which are planted in between the cash crops to improve soil fertility and tilth, and possibly assist in weed control and reducing insect and nematode pressure in the field. See the related link below for more information on cover crops.

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar types of crops in the same area in sequential seasons.Crop rotation confers various benefits to the soil. A traditional element of crop rotation is the replenishment of nitrogen through the use of green manure in sequence with cereals and other crops. Crop rotation also mitigates the build-up of pathogens and pests that often occurs when one species is continuously cropped, and can also improve soil structure and fertility by alternating deep-rooted and shallow-rooted plants.
