For best crop yields, crop rotation cannot take the place of fertilizer use. Most crops can only put back a portion of the nutrients they use, unless nothing is removed from the field. If you take something away, you have to put something back, whether it is an organic fertilizer (manure or compost) or an industrial chemical fertilizer. Crop rotation is better for the soil, though, so less fertilizer is needed.

Why does the soil usually become useless for growing crops after only a few years?

With proper soil management this should not happen. It usually occurs if the same crop is grown in the same place year after year and no material is returned to the soil. This depletes the organic matter (humus) in the soil, depriving the crops of nutrients. Crop rotation and the application of fertilizers can avoid this.
