Three-year rotation

Home > Agriculture > Poly-culture > Crop rotation > Three-year rotation

This is one of the most common types of crop rotation, and it involves a three-year cycle of planting a different crop in the same field each year. The first year may be planted with a cereal grain such as wheat, the second year with a legume such as beans or peas, and the third year with a root crop such as carrots or potatoes.
