\nThe practice of growing different types of crops sequentially in the same area across a series of growing seasons is called Crop Rotation. In this specific example, a farmer grows beans (a legume) after wheat (a cereal). Legumes like beans have root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which enrich the soil with nitrogen, benefiting subsequent crops like wheat. This practice helps maintain soil fertility, prevent depletion of specific nutrients, control pests and diseases, and improve soil structure.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Crop rotation involves growing different crops in sequence on the same land over time.
\n– Sowing nitrogen-fixing legumes like beans after cereals like wheat is a common practice in crop rotation to improve soil health.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMultiple cropping involves growing two or more crops on the same land in one year. Fallow field refers to leaving the land uncultivated for a period. Mixed cropping involves growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field.
