Crop rotation plan
A crop rotation plan involves changing the types of crops planted in a specific area over different growing seasons. This practice helps maintain soil health, reduce pest and disease buildup, and improve crop yields. Different plants have varying nutrient needs and effects on the soil, so rotating crops helps prevent nutrient depletion and minimizes the need for chemical fertilizers. For example, you might plant legumes one year to fix nitrogen in the soil, then follow with grains the next year to use that nitrogen efficiently. Overall, crop rotation is a sustainable farming method to keep soil healthy and productive.
