disadvantages of crop rotation??

it takes a long time for the farmer to gain his yield!!!!!!

any other point

 it makes the soil less fertile then before

The primary disadvantage of crop rotation is that it requires increased expertise, equipment, and differing management practices. Nutrient management programs have to be altered due to differing crop requirements. Weed control practices must be altered also. However, in general, advantages of crop rotation typically outweigh the disadvantages.

guyzzz wait i guess the first answer is wrong it is an advantage it is not a disadvantage

  crop rotation may cause to decrease the fertility of soil  because in this process siol have to change the the mangement of nutrients

One disadvantage of crop rotation is that a farmer needs to have additional equipment to be able to harvest multiple crops

Crop rotation is an ancient farming practice that has been used by farmers since the BC Centuries. Crop rotation is defined as the intentional planting of different types of crops in different parts of the field and at different seasons in a sequential manner. It also entails not choosing to plant anything at all in a given season and allow the land to rejuvenate while bare until the next season. In crop rotation, one can also incorporate livestock in the practice when the land is left bare for a season of grazing.

1. It involves risk

In crop rotation, investing in a season involves input of much money to buy different seedlings of the different types of crops to be planted. The success, however, for each crop type is not guaranteed and one can end up incurring a loss of harvest.

Pests and diseases from other crops can spread and infect more crops. There is also the risk of a certain crop yield not being successful and that was the only crop type grown meaning there will be no yields for that planting season and the farmer will have to wait for the next season.

2. Improper implementation can cause much more harm than good

Improper implementation of this technique causes much more harm than good. If one lacks the technical knowhow of crop rotation, there is no need to experiment because there can be nutrient build up that will take a longer time to correct. One has to have the skills to know what crops can be planted after the other and in which season for the process to be successful.

Improper implementation, hence, incurs the farmer very great losses. Still, information about the different planting techniques are easily available and the farmer should be vigilant as well as ready to practice them as required.

3. Obligatory crop diversification

For crop rotation to work, one has to plant different crops every time. Nonetheless, it does not allow a farmer to specialize on a single type of crop. The farmer is not able to produce a single crop on a large scale over a long period of time because of the damage it will do to the soil.

Practice of crop rotation is necessary to improve yields. Crop diversification also requires investment in different planting techniques for each unique crop that costs time and money because each crop needs a different type of attention.
