Abstract  

Crop rotation, an enduring agricultural approach is crucial for the promotion of sustainable agriculture. Through the practice of crop rotation, the soil's condition is enhanced, the occurrence of pests and diseases is reduced, and crop yields are improved. Utilizing natural processes, this method effectively sustains soil fertility, controls pests, and enhances biodiversity, making it a fundamental aspect of sustainable agricultural systems. Although crop rotation may be complex and require significant upfront investment, its long-term advantages, as shown by many scientific investigations and practical implementations, emphasize its essentiality for ensuring agricultural sustainability in the future.
