Crop Rotation
Definition
An agricultural production concept defining practices, measurements, or controls used to grow and harvest crops efficiently and responsibly. It governs field operations, resource inputs, and monitoring steps that influence yield, quality, and environmental performance. It does not ensure outcomes without appropriate execution and cannot substitute for site assessment and ongoing monitoring.
Crop Rotation
Definition
A planned sequence of different crop species or functional plant groups grown on the same land across seasons or years, selected and timed to manage soil fertility, interrupt pest and disease cycles, distribute nutrient demands, and maintain or improve yields and soil structure over time.
