Crop Rotation Sowing of crop in a regular order on a same land for a fix period keeping in view that the fertility of soil may not be adversely affected is known as crop rotation.

Factors Natural environmental condition Natural environmental condition Precipitation Precipitation Temperature Temperature Soil type Soil type Weeds Weeds Availability of fertilizer Availability of fertilizer

Availability of labour Availability of labour Irrigation facility Irrigation facility Situation of farm Situation of farm Size of farm Size of farm Type of farming Type of farming Market price Market price Insect, pest and diseases Insect, pest and diseases Economic condition of Farmer Economic condition of Farmer

Natural Environmental conditions Natural Environmental conditions affect the crop rotation by different ways Precipitation Precipitation We should consider the annual rain fall of a region during the different crop rotations. We should consider the annual rain fall of a region during the different crop rotations.

Temperature In the High temperature region we should keep the heat tolerant crop in our crop rotation.

Type of Soil While setting a Rotation the nature of the soil whether it is fertile or poor should be kept in mind. Such as Fertile soils Fertile soils Medium soil Medium soil Poor soils Poor soils

Weeds Different type of weeds present in a region also affect the crop rotation. Different type of weeds present in a region also affect the crop rotation. We follow the different rotation to control different types of the weeds and enhance our yield. We follow the different rotation to control different types of the weeds and enhance our yield. For example Barseem- lucern For example Barseem- lucern Khabal Grass controled by cotton Khabal Grass controled by cotton

Availability of the fertilizer Availability of the fertilizer affect in such a way that if the fertilizer are available easily at cheaper rates the duration of the rotation will be less and vice versa Availability of the fertilizer affect in such a way that if the fertilizer are available easily at cheaper rates the duration of the rotation will be less and vice versa Available on sowing Available on sowing

Availability of the Labor While setting rotation the type of manual labor, power and its availability for working the different operation affect the crop rotation. While setting rotation the type of manual labor, power and its availability for working the different operation affect the crop rotation. Enhances farm utilization Enhances farm utilization Is available at sowing Is available at sowing

Irrigation Facilities The type of the crop in rotation will be different in irrigation conditions as compared in arid conditions. The type of the crop in rotation will be different in irrigation conditions as compared in arid conditions. Irrigated Region Irrigated Region Wheat-rice, wheat-cotton, Wheat-rice, wheat-cotton, Wheat-Cotton-Fallow-Wheat Wheat-Cotton-Fallow-Wheat

Arid Region Arid Region Wheat-sarsoon, Wheat-Groundnut Wheat-sarsoon, Wheat-Groundnut Wheat-Fallow-Wheat Wheat-Fallow-Wheat

Situation of the Farm The type of crop and rotation will afected when the farm is present near the city as compared to the countryside. The type of crop and rotation will afected when the farm is present near the city as compared to the countryside. If our farm near the city then we should grow the Vegetables and fodder to get more profit in market If our farm near the city then we should grow the Vegetables and fodder to get more profit in market

Size of the Farm On small farm rotation will be different in comparison to the big farms. On small farm rotation will be different in comparison to the big farms.

Type Of Farming The nature of the farming effect the rotation in such a way that the crops in vegetable farming will be different as compared to the arable farming The nature of the farming effect the rotation in such a way that the crops in vegetable farming will be different as compared to the arable farming Arable farming is to growing crops Arable farming is to growing crops In vegetable farming grow vegetables such as In vegetable farming grow vegetables such asRaddish/carrot-Pumpkin/Ladyfinger

Market Price Market price also affect the crop rotation because when the demand of one crop is reduced the we should grown the crop of high demand. Market price also affect the crop rotation because when the demand of one crop is reduced the we should grown the crop of high demand. The crop having the high market price must grow on max. area vice versa The crop having the high market price must grow on max. area vice versa

Insect, Pest & diseases Insect pest also affect the crop rotation because when we repeat the same rotation on same area the the attack of insect pest increasing gradually. Insect pest also affect the crop rotation because when we repeat the same rotation on same area the the attack of insect pest increasing gradually.

Cotton Jassid damage the cotton when we rotate the cotton continuously Cotton Jassid damage the cotton when we rotate the cotton continuously If one crop destroy due to any disease then farmer get profit from the other crop If one crop destroy due to any disease then farmer get profit from the other crop

Economic Condition of the Labor When farmer is strong economically When farmer is strong economically When farmer is not strong economically When farmer is not strong economically
