Dear student.
Crop rotation is the practice of growing two or more varieties of crops in the same region in sequential seasons. Crops such as cultivation of maize followed by soya bean are an example of crop rotation.

Crop rotation is the practice of growing two or more varieties of crops in the same field in sequential seasons. The duration of crop rotation determines the crops to be sown. For example:
- For one-year rotation: maize and mustard or wheat and rice are sown in succession.
- For two-year rotation: maize, mustard, sugarcane and methi are sown in succession.
Advantage:
1. As different crops are grown one by one, the soil receives different types of nutrients.
2. Prevents the growth of the pathogen and pest.
3. Helps in reduction of weeds.
