Answer:
Explanation:
The crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different or dissimilar plants in the agriculture field in the same area in the sequenced seasons. It is done so that the nutrients in the soil remain retained for the production of new crops in every season.
An example of useful rotation of the crop includes the sequential growth of nitrogen fixing crops then later growing nitrogen demanding crops can be proved beneficial to retain the concentration of nitrogen element in the soil to the appreciable extent.
