Question

How does crop rotation help to prevent soil erosion?

Answer 1

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types ofcrops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms isnot used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield

Answer 2

Crop rotation also helps to battle against the forces of erosion. Rotating crops helps to improve soil stability by alternating between crops with deep roots and those with shallow roots. Pests are also deterred by eliminating their food source on a regular basis.
