It is when one species of crop is rotated with a different species of crop every year. For instance, a field that was planted with canola one year is planted with wheat another year. That same field may be sown into hay for a few years before being turned back to crop. This is so that the nutrients in the soil are not "mined" out of the soil to the point where crops cannot be grown anymore. Different crops have different nutrient needs than others. For instance, legume/oilseed crops like canola and peas fix nitrogen and put nitrogen back into the soil, whereas cereal crops like wheat or corn use it up.

Who developed the first crop rotation system?
It was Charels Townshed
What was a system of crop rotation that allowed for soil replenisment?
The three-field system was a crop rotation system where one field was planted with a winter crop like wheat, one with a spring crop like barley or oats, and one left fallow. This allowed for the soil to replenish its nutrients as different crops would extract different nutrients from the soil.
The crop rotation system that developed in Britain during the agricultural revolution increased crop yields?
by increasing nutrients to the soil
Why is 4 field crop rotation better than 3 year crop rotation?
4 field crop rotation is better than 3 year crop rotation because it could get the job done faster
What is a system of using a different two out of three fields for planting each season?
This system is called Crop Rotation.
What is the system of crop rotation used in the later middle Ages and how it increased the amount of food being grown?
In the Middle Ages, one important improvement was the three field system of crop rotation, in which a field would be planted with one crop in one year, a different crop the next year, and no crop in the third year so it could lie fallow and recover. Prior to this, a different system was used, but the three field system increased the amount of available land for farming by a third. This system of crop rotation meant that more people could be fed by each farmer, and this was one of the important factors in the growth of towns and cities.
Does crop rotation lead to soil erosion?
No, The crop rotation is to avoide soil erosion.
What advantages of crop rotation?
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.
Crop rotation inventor?
Middle Eastern farmers were the inventors of crop rotations. They were known to practice crop rotation as early as 6000 BC.
