Crop Rotation on Organic Farming

Why is crop rotation important? It improves soil structure, reduces erosion, improves soil fertility, and aids with insect management and disease control in your field. Farmers, let us implement this farming practice. pic.twitter.com/fPMc2c23du

This is why you need to practice crop rotation in your farm.
1. This farming method improves the fertility of your farm's soil.
2. Breaks the circle of pests, weeds, and insects in your field. #SaveSoil#ConservationAgriculture #RegenerativeAgriculture pic.twitter.com/3WlVAC8ded

Crop Production Manual and Crop Roation PDF guide by FAO

Crop rotation (Page 19 & 20 of 92) – Those of us who have been gardening for years all have a story about a bumper crop one year leading to a minuscule harvest the next.
Bountiful plants followed by punier versions is a very common tale among gardeners, and the culprit isn’t the
validity of your (or our) green thumb – the answer to fighting this boomand-slump cycle is crop rotation.
Crop rotation is, essentially, an extension of the work you did in initially laying out your garden, and deciding where to plant what.

Moving the plant groups that you have placed together to new locations – and new soil – every year is something that some gardeners don’t do, but it can be a huge improvement
to nearly any garden, in several ways.
First of all, rotating crops year after year helps to keep that soil that we spent so much time worrying about
healthy and fertile. By planting the same plants in the same soil each year, those same plants are going to drain the same nutrients – in the same way – year after year, and over
time that soil will become less effective.
Additionally, rotating your plant groups helps to mitigate soil diseases and pests mainly nematodes.
What are those? These are conditions like verticillium wilt and rootworms that prefer certain types of plants – so planting the same thing in the same location each year helps them set up a permanent foothold.

It is recommended that crop locations are rotated to a different plant family after each planting over two years.
Some examples are as follow:
Night Shade: Tomato, Eggplant, Pepper
Morning Glory: Sweet Potato
Legumes-Bean: Long Beans, Wing Beans

Did you know that crop rotation can play a vital role in mitigating climate change impacts? By switching crops every year, we can improve soil health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save water. Let’s adopt this sustainable practice for a healthier planet.
