Carrots in Northern Florida

A video I took last week at a carrot farm in northern Georgia. You can see the smoke from the forest fires in the background.

I have a simple question for you.
What are the benefits of crop rotation?

Vatren said...

The benefits of crop rotation is the suppression of insects and diseases that a prior crop is sensitive to.

For example EUROPEAN CORN BORER as the name implies likes corn. When you plant soybean after corn you a trying to starve the insect.

Also the demand on nutrients(fertilizers)is different for each crop. Corn needs a lot of nitrogen an soybean makes nitrogen.

Hope this helps......

If you want to know how some plants make nitrogen from the air for them self come back tomorrow ...

Take care and thanks for the question..l
