Answer 2

Answer:

Crop rotation is the sequential planting of different crops over several years in the same growing space.

Explanation:

Crop rotation is the sequential planting of different crops in a planned manner over several years in the same growing area. They are planted in order to replenish the nutrients lost during the previous harvest.

For example, some crops like wheat and rice, use lots of nitrogen of the soil. The nitrogen, thus lost, can be easily replenished in the soil by growing one leguminous crop between two successive cereal crops.

Crop rotation is a rather efficient method of replenishing soil fertility without depending on chemicals or fertilizers.
