Crop Protection Strategies Quiz

Crop rotation involves changing the type of crops grown in a field from year to year to prevent disease buildup.

Prevention is more effective because once a crop is infected, it can be challenging to treat, leading to potential loss and reduced yield.

Crop rotation helps maintain soil structure and organic matter, while ensuring nutrient balance in the soil.
