Pineapple

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 18-24 months for each planting cycle. Benefits: Frequent rotations can mitigate soil nutrient depletion and control pests.

StarStarStarStar

Cocoa

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 18-25 years with intermediate food crops. Benefits: Extended rotation period allows soil to recuperate and prevents build-up of cocoa pests.

StarStarStarStar

Oil Palm

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 25-30 years. Benefits: Ensures maximum yield before the trees become too tall for efficient harvesting.

StarStarStarStar

Lime

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 15-25 years. Benefits: Reduces the incidence of Citrus Canker and other bacterial/fungal diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Vanilla

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: After 2-4 harvests, a new site should be used. Benefits: Reduces soil pathogen load and sustains high-quality bean production.

StarStarStarStar

Pepper (Piper nigrum)

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 7-10 years. Benefits: Minimizes the risk of soil-borne diseases like Phytophthora and improves perennial yields.

StarStarStarStar

Avocado

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 7-15 years depending on variety. Benefits: Helps prevent root rot and other diseases, while maintaining fertility levels.

StarStarStarStar

Coconut

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 60+ years for a plantation. Benefits: Less frequent replanting means reduced labor and maintenance costs.

StarStarStarStar

Mango

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 15-20 years. Benefits: Helps avoid alternate bearing patterns and maintain stable yields.

StarStarStarStar

Rice (tropical)

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 1-2 years with legumes or upland crops. Benefits: Breaks the cycle of pests and diseases specific to rice and improves soil structure.

StarStarStarStar

Banana

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 2-3 years between planting and replanting. Benefits: Reduces pests such as nematodes and improves soil health.

StarStarStarStar

Cassava

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 2-3 years with legumes or grain crops. Benefits: Enhances soil fertility through nitrogen fixation and reduces pest buildup.

StarStarStarStar

Sugar Cane

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 5-7 years. Benefits: Allows for ratoon cropping which increases total crop yield over multiple harvests without replanting.

StarStarStarStar

Coffee

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 5 or more years before replanting in the same soil. Benefits: Helps to prevent soil erosion and reduces disease pressures.

StarStarStarStar

Papaya

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 3-4 years. Benefits: Prevents soil exhaustion and reduces diseases such as Papaya Ringspot Virus.

StarStarStarStar

Rubber

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 25-30 years. Benefits: Allows full economic lifespan of the trees before replanting, which is important given the long maturation period.

StarStarStarStar

Tobacco

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: Frequently rotated each year with crops like corn or soybean. Benefits: Reduces tobacco-specific diseases and pests, and recharges soil nutrients.

StarStarStarStar

Turmeric

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 3 years of consecutive planting followed by 2-3 years fallow or with different crops. Benefits: Helps prevent rhizome rot and maintains soil health.

StarStarStarStar

Tea

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 50+ years in commercial plantations. Benefits: Longer rotation cycles lead to sustained yield and quality over time.

StarStarStarStar

Ginger

StarStarStarStar

Suggested rotation cycle: 2-3 years of planting with 1-2 years fallow or with alternate crops. Benefits: Controls rhizome diseases and keeps the soil fertile.
