Crop rotation is typically practiced annually, with farmers rotating different crops each planting season to enhance soil health and reduce pests and diseases. The frequency can vary depending on the crop type, local climate, and farming practices, but many rotations are designed to occur every year. In some cases, longer rotations may be implemented over several years to improve soil fertility and structure.
