Factors affecting Crop Rotation
3
What is Factor??????

• A factor, a Latin word meaning
• 'who/which acts'
• A phenomenon presumed to affect an experiment is
  called as Factor.

4
Crop Rotation

• Sowing of crop in a regular order on a same land
  for a fix period keeping in view that the
  fertility of soil may not be adversely affected
  is known as crop rotation.

5
Factors

• Natural environmental condition
• Precipitation
• Temperature
• Soil type
• Weeds
• Availability of fertilizer

6

• Availability of labour
• Irrigation facility
• Situation of farm
• Size of farm
• Type of farming
• Market price
• Insect, pest and diseases
• Economic condition of Farmer

7
Natural Environmental conditions

• Natural Environmental conditions affect the crop
  rotation by different ways
• Precipitation
• We should consider the annual rain fall of
  a region during the different crop rotations.

8
Temperature

• In the High temperature region we should keep the
  heat tolerant crop in our crop rotation.

9
Type of Soil

• While setting a Rotation the nature of the soil
  whether it is fertile or poor should be kept in
  mind. Such as
• Fertile soils
• Medium soil
• Poor soils

10
Weeds

• Different type of weeds present in a region also
  affect the crop rotation.
• We follow the different rotation to control
  different types of the weeds and enhance our
  yield.
• For example Barseem- lucern
• Khabal Grass controled by cotton

11
Availability of the fertilizer

• Availability of the fertilizer affect in such a
  way that if the fertilizer are available easily
  at cheaper rates the duration of the rotation
  will be less and vice versa
• Available on sowing

12
Availability of the Labor

• While setting rotation the type of manual labor ,
  power and its availability for working the
  different operation affect the crop rotation.
• Enhances farm utilization
• Is available at sowing

13
Irrigation Facilities

• The type of the crop in rotation will be
  different in irrigation conditions as compared in
  arid conditions.
• Irrigated Region
• Wheat-rice , wheat-cotton ,
• Wheat-Cotton-Fallow-Wheat

14

• Arid Region
• Wheat-sarsoon , Wheat-Groundnut
• Wheat-Fallow-Wheat

15
Situation of the Farm

• The type of crop and rotation will afected when
  the farm is present near the city as compared to
  the countryside.
• If our farm near the city then we should grow
  the Vegetables and fodder to get more profit in
  market

16
Size of the Farm

• On small farm rotation will be different in
  comparison to the big farms.

17
Type Of Farming

• The nature of the farming effect the rotation in
  such a way that the crops in vegetable farming
  will be different as compared to the arable
  farming
• Arable farming is to growing crops
• In vegetable farming grow vegetables such as
• Raddish/carrot-Pumpkin/Ladyfinger

18
Market Price

• Market price also affect the crop rotation
  because when the demand of one crop is reduced
  the we should grown the crop of high demand.
• The crop having the high market price must grow
  on max. area vice versa

19
Insect , Pest diseases

• Insect pest also affect the crop rotation because
  when we repeat the same rotation on same area the
  the attack of insect pest increasing gradually.

20

• Cotton Jassid damage the cotton when we rotate
  the cotton continuously
• If one crop destroy due to any disease then
  farmer get profit from the other crop

21
Economic Condition of the Labor

• When farmer is strong economically
• When farmer is not strong economically
