Crop rotation can be an important land managment tool. Many farmers in the midwest have a rotation of corn and soybeans. Soybeans are a legume plant that have a symbiotic relationship with a soil bacteria called rhizobia. As the soybean plants grow, the rhizobia bacteria establish themselves inside the root system of the plant. These bacteria can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and put it in the soil. The nitrogen is then there the next year when corn is planted. Corn needs a significant amount of nitrogen so by having the stored nitrogen from the previous soybean crop a farmer will need to apply less, if any, additional nitrogen which is better for the environment and better for the farmers bottom line.
Another advantage of crop rotation is that a farmer can reduce infections of bacteria, virus, and pest that affect certain crops.
One disadvantage of crop rotation is that a farmer needs to have additional equipment to be able to harvest multiple crops.
Rotation of crops allows the land to replenish its nutrients and allows the land to be of use for a longer period of time instead of being used up completely and damaged beyond repair.
Crop rotation allows the soil to recover. Proper crop rotation will replace nutrients that are consumed by the previous crop. Planting the same crop year after year will deplete certain nutrients and make the soil unproductive.
to grow more tress and to maintain soil fertility.also for crop rotation and plant new plants evert year.
the chemicals in crop dusting can go into the water that you drink and ya...
The advantages of inter-cropping and crop rotation include allowing the soil adequate time to dissolve nutrients for plants to take up.
advantages: gave famers a place to live, planters did not have to pay in cash, workers got a portion of profit from crops disadvantages: led to crop lien system, encouraged only growing one crop, easy to build debt

4 field crop rotation is better than 3 year crop rotation because it could get the job done faster
Crop rotation are grown in definite cycle but land rotation are net growwn in any
No, The crop rotation is to avoide soil erosion.
The primary disadvantage of crop rotation is that it requires increased expertise, equipment, and differing management practices. Nutrient management programs have to be altered due to differing crop requirements. Weed control practices must be altered also. However, in general, advantages of crop rotation typically outweigh the disadvantages.
Middle Eastern farmers were the inventors of crop rotations. They were known to practice crop rotation as early as 6000 BC.
There isn't any really .. crop rotation is alright tbh :)
