How does a crop rotation work?

Answer 1

The practice of planting a succession of crops in a field over a period of years. Rotations can maintain field fertility since different crops use different soil nutrients, so excessive demands are not made of one nutrient. In certain rotations, plants like legumes (peas and beans) are grown to restore fertility.

Answer 2

Crop rotation is when farmers will plant a section of soil, and then the next season plant in another section so that the first can be replenished. It is done so that an entire section of farmland is not depleted of its nutrients, but rather so that smaller sections can be used and more are kept fertile.

Answer 3

Because it is unhealthy for the soil to have one crop grown on it year after year, farmers began to rotate their crops. Crop rotation means they plant different things on the same soil each year in order for their soil to have the best nutrients at all times.

Answer 4

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. types of crop rotation are as follows: One year rotation (1. Maize-Mustard 2.Rice-Wheat) Two year rotation (1.Maize-Mustard-sugarcane-Methi 2.Maize-Potato-Sugarcane-Peas) Three year rotation (1.Rice-Wheat-Moong-Mustard-sugarcane-Berseem 2. Cotton-Oat-Sugarcane-Peas-Maize-Wheat)

Answer 5

Fallow means that the field is left spare, so when used in the rotation scheme, one field is left fallow for a year, or whatever period, then is planted on again. Farmers no longer use the rotation (I think) because it is more viable to use fertilisers instead. Before fertilisers, farmers would not use the fallow rotation either, but would use fields not used to grow clovers (not useful, but they put nitrates into the soil) and fodder (like turnips, which can be kept for animal feed in the winter, and which also aid the soil's recovery). In this way, the recovery would be more effective, so the soil would not be useless the following years.

Answer 6

An agricultural practice in which different types of crops are grown alternately in the same field in a pre planned succession is called crop rotation. Advantage : It helps in control of weeds, pests and diseases of crop plant.

Answer 7

Crop rotation is the practice of planting different crops into the same piece of land.

Answer 8

THE PRACTICE OF GROWING DIFFERENT CROPS IN SUCCESSION ON THE SAME LAND CHIEFLY TO PRESERVE THE PRODUCTIVE CAPICITY OF THE SOIL.

Answer 9

Crop rotation is the practice of changing crops for a location during each growth cycle. This idea provides a wide range of helpful elements to the soil while avoiding any level of depletion.

Answer 10

The action of rotating around an axis or center.
