this is crop rotation my friend

Answer 2

The actual term for this type of method of cultivation is Crop Rotation.

• The name crop rotation itself implies that the cultivation of crops is rotating one after another.
• It is the practice of growing different crops in the same field in a sequential and successive manner throughout the seasons.
• The major advantage of this kind of cultivation is that it sustains, recycles and restores the fertility of the soil whereas monocropping can leads to the depletion of nutrients.
• Here, after the paddy cultivation, the farmer chose pea(leguminous plant) as the next crop mainly due to its ability to show symbiotic association with the atmospheric nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobium species that habitats in the root nodules of these crops.
• Proper choice of crops also helps to prevent soil erosion and can improve organic matter and structure of the soil thus adds diversity to the farm.
