The practice of growing a cereal crop and the pulse crop alternately in the same field in successive season is called crop rotation.
Explanation:
- Crop rotation is the process of cultivating a variety of different crop types through sequence of growing seasons in the same area. It decreases dependency on a variety of nutrients, pestilence and weed pressure and the possibility of resistance to weeds and pests.
- For many years to grow the same crop in one place gradually deprives the soil of certain nutrients and growth of pest and weed community. The productivity of monocultures is highly dependent on external inputs without balance nutrient use & diversification of pesticides and weed communities.
- A well-designed rotation of crops will, by properly leveraging the environment resources from various crops, minimise the need for synthetic fertilisers and herbicides. Crop rotations further strengthen the composition of the soil and organic matter, minimising deforestation and increasing the sustainability of the farming system.
