Oats

StarStarStarStar

Including oats in rotation can reduce weed competition and act as a disease break crop for cereals.

StarStarStarStar

Chickpeas

StarStarStarStar

Rotating chickpeas with cereals or non-leguminous crops helps to prevent soil-borne diseases and optimizes nitrogen use.

StarStarStarStar

Cucumber

StarStarStarStar

Rotation with crops like corn or wheat can help prevent the buildup of cucumber-specific diseases and pests.

StarStarStarStar

Cauliflower

StarStarStarStar

Rotating cauliflower with non-brassica crops can suppress disease and nematode issues and can enhance soil structure.

StarStarStarStar

Spinach

StarStarStarStar

Spinach benefits from rotation with crops that have different pest and disease profiles to avoid soil pathogen buildup.

StarStarStarStar

Carrot

StarStarStarStar

Rotating carrots with crops like onions can help reduce pressure from nematodes and other soil-borne pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Lettuce

StarStarStarStar

Rotation with brassicas or cereals can help manage soil-borne diseases and pest populations affecting lettuce.

StarStarStarStar

Barley

StarStarStarStar

Barley rotated with legumes or root crops can lead to improved soil nitrogen and break disease cycles.

StarStarStarStar

Cotton

StarStarStarStar

Rotation with cereals or legumes can reduce pathogen loads in soil and improve soil structure.

StarStarStarStar

Soybeans

StarStarStarStar

Rotating soybeans with non-leguminous crops helps break disease and pest cycles and can improve soil structure.

StarStarStarStar

Alfalfa

StarStarStarStar

Rotating alfalfa with crops like corn can significantly improve soil nitrogen levels and reduce weed pressure.

StarStarStarStar

Canola (Oilseed Rape)

StarStarStarStar

Canola rotation can reduce soil-borne diseases and insect pest populations, especially when followed by cereals.

StarStarStarStar

Broccoli

StarStarStarStar

Rotating broccoli with alternative crop families can help manage pests like aphids and diseases such as clubroot.

StarStarStarStar

Peanuts

StarStarStarStar

Including peanuts in a rotation can improve soil fertility with nitrogen fixation and helps manage certain pests.

StarStarStarStar

Sunflower

StarStarStarStar

Introducing sunflower into rotations can help in managing soil diseases and pests, and can also improve soil texture.

StarStarStarStar

Rice

StarStarStarStar

Rotating rice with upland crops can conserve water, improve soil health, and reduce pest and weed pressure.

StarStarStarStar

Sorghum

StarStarStarStar

Rotating sorghum with legumes can enhance soil nitrogen and reduce soil pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Rye

StarStarStarStar

Rye rotation provides excellent weed suppression, can improve soil structure, and disrupts pest cycles.

StarStarStarStar

Tomato

StarStarStarStar

Rotating tomatoes with brassicas or cereals can reduce problems with nematodes and soil-borne diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Potatoes

StarStarStarStar

Rotating potatoes with green manures/green crops can suppress nematode populations and rebuild soil fertility.

StarStarStarStar

Sugar beets

StarStarStarStar

Including sugar beets in the rotation can improve soil structure and provides a break for cereal and legume pests.

StarStarStarStar

Cabbage

StarStarStarStar

Rotating cabbage with other crop families helps manage clubroot and other brassica diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Corn (Maize)

StarStarStarStar

Rotating corn with legumes improves soil nitrogen levels and reduces pests like the corn rootworm.

StarStarStarStar

Wheat

StarStarStarStar

Wheat rotation can reduce the risk of fusarium head blight and can be a break crop for managing pests in other cereals.

StarStarStarStar

Peas

StarStarStarStar

Rotating with cereals like wheat can reduce the incidence of root rot and improve soil nitrogen for the subsequent crop.
