The Norfolk system, was a new system in which four crops were rotated instead of three. This system also removed the fallow field and replaced it with turnips and clover. These made excellent winter cattle feed as well as enriched the soil with nitrogen which was found to exist on the tips of their roots. When the plant was removed, the root tips and nitrogen was left behind. This system greatly increased profits as it removed and enriched the fallow field.
Crop rotation system developed in Britain during agricultural revolution increase crop yields by increasing nutrients in the soil.
by increasing nutrients to the soil
an example of a crop plant disease is pathogens. They can be stoped by crop rotation.
At least 2,000 years ago. Ancient Roman literature details some crop rotation methods.
The four-field crop rotation system was developed in the 18th century, primarily attributed to the agricultural innovations in Britain. One of the key figures in its development was Charles Townshend, who promoted this system in the early 1700s. The method involved rotating wheat, barley, turnips, and clover to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields. This practice significantly contributed to agricultural productivity during the Agricultural Revolution.
Charles Townshed introduced the Norfolk crop rotation.
1599

It worked by gowing a root plant in the field that would be fallow which would release nitrogen into the gound

by increasing nutrients to the soil
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.
4 field crop rotation is better than 3 year crop rotation because it could get the job done faster
This system is called Crop Rotation.
No, The crop rotation is to avoide soil erosion.
