The practice of alternating the species or families of annual and/ or biennial crops grown on a specific field
in a planned pattern or sequence so as to break weed/pest and disease cycles and to improve soil fertility
and organic matter is called crop rotation. Planting the same crop in the same location time after time
(mono cropping) encourages the build up of diseases and pests that plague that particular crop. Crop
rotation helps in overcoming this problem without the use of any chemicals.
