Crop Rotation

StarStarStarStar

A pattern where different crops are rotated on the same land across different seasons or years to improve soil health and reduce pests and diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Strip Cropping

StarStarStarStar

A pattern where crops are grown in alternating strips along the land contours, helping in erosion control and reducing water runoff.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

A farming practice where crops are planted primarily to manage soil erosion, soil fertility, and pests, rather than for harvest.

StarStarStarStar

Polyculture

StarStarStarStar

A planting pattern where multiple crop species are grown in the same space at the same time, promoting biodiversity and resilience against pests and diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Green Manure

StarStarStarStar

The practice of growing specific crops, such as legumes, that are then plowed into the soil to act as a nutrient-rich, organic fertilizer for future crops.

StarStarStarStar

Alley Cropping

StarStarStarStar

A system in which perennial, preferably leguminous trees or shrubs are grown simultaneously with an arable crop. The trees, managed as hedgerows, help to enhance nutrient uptake and improve soil fertility.

StarStarStarStar

Monoculture

StarStarStarStar

A pattern where only one type of crop is planted year after year on the same land, leading to a depletion of soil nutrients and increased vulnerability to pests.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Cropping

StarStarStarStar

A farming practice where agricultural land is used to grow crops continuously without leaving it fallow, which can lead to soil degradation over time.

StarStarStarStar

Intercropping

StarStarStarStar

Growing two or more crops in proximity on the same field during a single season to promote interactions advantageous to at least one of the crops.

StarStarStarStar

Sequential Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Planting a sequence of different crops on the same land within the same year to maximize the use of growing seasons and increase yield.
