Detailed explanation-1: -Crop rotation contributes to increased yields through improved soil nutrition. By requiring planting and harvesting of different crops at different times, more land can be farmed with the same amount of machinery and labour.
Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to helping with weed management and pest control, a diverse crop rotation gives the soil microbes different food sources, which ultimately makes soil healthier.
Detailed explanation-3: -(e)Crop rotation helps in the replenishment of soil with “nitrogen".
Detailed explanation-4: -each crop uses more of some nutrients and less of the others. farmers, therefore change their crops in each season so that the soil is not depleted of any particular nutrient. this is called crop rotation. for example, wheat or rice users up large amounts of nitrogen from the soil.
