If we grow a crop continuously in the same field for many years, it results in to various problems such as :1) depletion or defieciency of same type of nutrients 2) build up of disease and insect-pests. This demands for the requirement of the practice of crop rotation. Crop Rotation can be defined as the practice of growing of different crops on a piece of land in a preplanned succession.
