Crop rotation helps in______________?

Correct answer: D. Eradication of disease

  • A. Growth of pathogens
  • B. Soil Infertility
  • C. Slowing of crops growth
  • D. Eradication of disease

Explanation

Crop rotation interrupts the continuous presence of crop-specific pathogens by changing the host plant grown in a field, so disease-causing organisms may fail to complete their life cycles. Students may choose soil infertility because repeated cultivation can reduce soil quality, but rotation generally helps maintain fertility rather than cause infertility.
