Crop rotation.
Crop rotation refers to the practice of seeding fields with different crops each year and allowing the field to sometime lie fallow.
Swarm of locust can be one that can destroy whole fields of crops.
Crop rotation. This practice helps maintain soil fertility and health by alternating different types of crops each year to replenish nutrients and prevent depletion.
Crop rotation. It involves planting different crops in a sequential pattern on the same piece of land to help maintain soil health, reduce pest and disease pressure, and improve crop yields.
Alternating row crops with close-growing crops is an agricultural practice where different types of crops are planted in alternating rows, typically pairing a taller crop with a shorter, denser one. This method enhances land use efficiency, improves soil health, and reduces weed pressure by maximizing light interception and resource utilization. It can also support biodiversity and pest management by creating a more complex habitat for beneficial organisms. Overall, this strategy aims to optimize crop yields and sustainability in farming systems.
In fields
Early Mesopotamian farmers grew many different crops. If you were able to go back there in time, you would see fields of wheat and barley. These were the region's most important crops.
The Aztecs prepared their fields for crops using a technique called chinampa farming. They built raised fields on swampy land by weaving reeds and planting crops on top of the mud. This allowed them to control water flow and maximize agricultural productivity.

Leaving fields unplanted allowed soil to recover from cash crops production, but it was impossible for poor farmers who needed the money from the sale of their crops.
The use of canals to bring water to crop fields is called 'irrigation' or 'irrigating'.
