1. Proper crop rotation
|
When the same plant is continually grown the same nutrients are required. When different crops are grown the trace minerals will not be as quickly depleted. Deep-rooted plants will bring up more elements from deeper layers of sub soil. When used as green fertilizer or compost they will return trace minerals and nutrients to the topsoil for future plantings of shallower feeders.
Breaks the disease CycleWhen a different crop is planted then many diseases are not able to find a new host plant. It must be a different family. Do not follow rice with corn, both are in the grass family and have many of the same diseases. |

Interrupts Destructive Insect CycleWhen a different crop is planted then many insects are not able to find a new host plant. It must be a different family. Do not follow tomatoes with bell peppers, both have many of the same pest problems and diseases. |
