When there is excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the chemical salts accumulate in the soil and affect the quality and fertility of the soil. 

Crop rotation is a pattern of growing different types of crops in the same area. This method helps in the replenishment of nutrients by the regular succession of crops over the same field and enhances the health of crops. It minimizes the use of nitrogenous fertilizers. The nutrient quality of the soil can be maintained. There is no effect on the weeds and pests. 

(c) If the same crop is grown year after year, fertility of soil is lost due to utilization of same minerals again and again. Soil fertility is usually maintained in the field by rotation of crops i.e., a crop is alternated by a leguminous crop.

Crop rotation is the practice of growing of different crops in succession on a piece of land to avoid depletion of  a particular type of nutrient from the soil and to control the weeds , pests  & diseases . Other main reason of crop rotation is to give the soil the time to regain it's fertility 

Crop rotation helps in increase in soil fertility. It is the process of growing a series of different crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It also helps in reducing soil erosion and increasing in crop yield.

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same area in during different seasons. It is done so that the soil is not depleted of a particular type of  nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield.
