User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The crops sometimes called the Three Sisters that were successfully grown by the mound builders in Mississippi were corn, beans, and squash. These crops were cultivated together using a technique called companion planting, where corn provided a structure for the beans to climb, while the beans provided nitrogen to the soil and helped support the corn. Squash was grown as ground cover, which helped prevent weeds and retain moisture.

How do carpenter bees help farmers pollinate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Buzz pollination and nectar robberies are ways that carpenter bees help farmers pollinate such crops as beans, dogroses, eggplants, maracujas, passion fruits, and tomatoes. The insects in question (Xylocopinae subfamily member) employ the buzzing sounds that they emit to cause dried pollen to drop out of plants so that pollination is more efficient and widespread for the farm in question. They also perfect nectar-robbing whereby they remove excess nectar -- that otherwise may attract ant swarms -- from such long-tubed flowers as penstemons and salvias by "drilling" a hole in floral bases for "drip-sipping."

How can crop rotation improve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pest control is the main benefit of crop rotation. If a farmer plants one type of crop and swaps it out when it starts to attract a certain type of bug it will be awhile before more are attracted to the new plant

Crop rotation can also be used to replenish nutrients in the soil. For example, a crop that takes a lot of nitrogen can be planted one year, and the next year one that replenishes nitrogen can be planted.
