Crop rotation
I have been looking around, and though I'm not positive about this, I believe the Cherokee Indians might have used crop rotation.

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.

4 field crop rotation is better than 3 year crop rotation because it could get the job done faster
No, The crop rotation is to avoide soil erosion.
Crop rotation allows the soil to recover. Proper crop rotation will replace nutrients that are consumed by the previous crop. Planting the same crop year after year will deplete certain nutrients and make the soil unproductive.
Middle Eastern farmers were the inventors of crop rotations. They were known to practice crop rotation as early as 6000 BC.
There isn't any really .. crop rotation is alright tbh :)
No. Crop uptake is the water and nutrients the plant moves from its roots up to its leaves, and crop rotation is changing which crop is grown in a given field from one crop cycle to the next.
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.
