Crop rotation. If you plant the same crop year-after-year. That crop will use up all the nutrients specific to the needs of the plant. Crop rotation involves planting a different crop each year - thus the nutrients in the soil are more evenly used.

What is crop rotation how was it important to the cotton farming?

Crop rotation is basically where a farmer has three or more fields of crops. After each crop is harvested, the farmer moves the crops into different fields. So, if five fields were full of different crops, the farmer would move each crop into the field next to it. Crop rotation is important to the cotton industry and most other farming industries, because different plants take and insert different nutrients in the soil. So, if you grew different crops in the same field, there would be a more balanced amount and variety of nutrients. Whereas, if you just grew, say, corn in one field, then the soil there would be rich in nutrients corn didn't need and lacking in nutrients the corn needed.
