How interplanting and crop rotation helps to control the pethogenic diseases and parasitic weeds and also explain what are parasitic weeds ? What is crop rotation ? What is interplanting ? Thanks :-)
This is also written in my book but I can not understand it . It is " interplanting, as it stimulates conditions in natural ecosystem by limiting the spread of infectious diseases can also control it " could you please explain thisRyan_m_b said:Hi Aafia. Is this a homework question? Please note that it is always best to show what work you have done yourself. What do you think these things are? When you look them up using google what comes back? After reading up on what you find what don't you understand?
Ok . If don't want to answer this question. May be Others know the answer of this question .Ryan_m_b said:No, that's not how we work here. First tell us what you have done to figure this out yourself. Have you looked it up? What have you read? What do you think that passage means? If you don answer these questions the thread will be locked.
Crop rotation is the practice of growing different crops in the same area over time. It is important because it helps to maintain soil fertility, prevent pests and diseases, and improve overall crop yields.
Crop rotation helps to improve soil fertility by alternating between crops that have different nutrient requirements. For example, legumes like beans and peas add nitrogen to the soil, while crops like corn and potatoes deplete nitrogen. By rotating these crops, the soil is able to maintain a balanced nutrient level.
Inter planting is the practice of growing multiple crops in the same area at the same time. This differs from crop rotation because crop rotation involves growing different crops in the same area over time, while inter planting involves growing different crops together in the same area simultaneously.
Inter planting can provide a number of benefits, such as maximizing space and increasing biodiversity. It can also help to improve soil health by reducing erosion and increasing nutrient cycling.
Farmers can determine the best crops to rotate or inter plant by considering factors such as the nutrient requirements of the crops, their compatibility with each other, and the specific needs of their soil and climate. It is also important to plan for crop rotation and inter planting in advance to ensure a successful and sustainable harvest.
