What is Crop Rotation?

GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer

Crop rotation is the systematic practice of growing different types of crops sequentially on the same land across different seasons or years in a planned, cyclical pattern. Rather than continuously cultivating the same crop, farmers alternate between crops with different nutrient requirements, growth patterns, and pest profiles. A typical rotation might involve growing wheat, then legumes (like chickpeas), followed by cotton, and then returning to wheat in a three-year cycle.
