Dear Student

Ans. False

The growing of different kinds of crops on a piece of land in a preplanned succession is known as crop rotation.

In the rotation of crops, leguminous crops like pulses, beans, peas, groundnut and Bengal gram are sown in-between the seasons of cereal crops like wheat, maize and pearl millet.

The leguminous plants are grown alternately with non-leguminous plants to restore the fertility of the soil.

Planting a leguminous plant will result in nitrogen-rich soil and when a cereal is grown in this soil there is increase in food grain production.

Rotation of crops help in weed control and pest control.

Some successful crop rotation practices are:Maize + mustard , Rice + wheat etc.
