Crop Rotation Recommendations
Improve soil health and reduce pest problems with these crop rotation strategies
Rotation Pattern
Benefits
Cereals → Pulses → Vegetables
Pulses fix nitrogen in soil after cereals deplete it. Vegetables then benefit from improved soil fertility.
Rice → Wheat → Green Manure
Common in rice-wheat systems. Green manure crop helps restore soil fertility and organic matter.
Cotton → Chickpea → Sorghum
Helps break pest cycles in cotton. Chickpea improves soil nitrogen, and sorghum has different nutrient requirements.
Maize → Potato → Legume
Different rooting depths help utilize nutrients from various soil layers. Legume restores nitrogen.
