Answer:
a) YES ! Raghav's advice is correct. Crop Rotation prevents the soil from depleted.
b) Growing the same crop in the same place for many years in a row gradually depletes the soil of certain nutrients and selects for a highly competitive pest and weed community.
Explanation:
Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons. It reduces reliance on one set of nutrients, pest and weed pressure, and the probability of developing resistant pest and weeds.
