A crop rotation is a widely adopted management practice where two or more crop species re grown in sequence, one after another, in the same part of the or field and therefore contributes to soil fertility in great percentage in the following ways:
* Maintain and improve soil fertility
* Diversify crop production
* Reduce soil nutrients mining
* Control diseases, Pests and weeds
* Control soil erosion
* Recycle nutrients through growing of deep and shallow rooted crops alternately

In addition, crop rotation mitigates the buildup of pathogens and pests that often occurs when one species is continuously cropped, and can also improve soil structure and fertility by increasing biomass from varied root structures. Crop cycle is used in both conventional and organic farming systems.
