A farmer grows ten crops instead on one How might this decrease insect damage to plants?
Crop insect damage is usually caused by insects that feed on that crop specifically. For example, corn borers feed on corn, but not on soybeans, wheat or hay. If a farmer grows ten different crops, and rotates them year-to-year on all his fields, no single field will have a given crop more than once in every ten years. Most of these damaging insects have a life cycle that is not conducive to reproductive success within that length of a crop cycle. In short, the farmer just isn't growing the crop frequently enough for the insects to develop a strong foothold.
