Why was crop rotation mostly important for farmers?
A
It was profitable
B
It kept their soil rich in nutrients
C
They could grown multiple crops
D
It fertilized their crops
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Crop rotation improves water use efficiency by increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil, which can improve soil structure and water-holding capacity. Also, this method helps preserve moisture in deep soil layers, which plants can use during droughts. This way, farmers can reduce irrigation water usage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rotating different crops can break pest cycles and add extra nutrients to the soil. Crop rotations build soil fertility, preserve the environment, control weeds, diseases, and insects, and add to crop and market diversity (Baldwin, 2006).

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of crop rotation is primarily used to replenish the different types of nutrients by cultivating different crops. It increases soil fertility and in turn increases the yield of the crops. Crop rotation helps to reduce soil erosion and restore the physico-chemical balance of the soil.
