Factors affecting Crop Rotation What is Factor?????? • A factor, a Latin word meaning 'who/which acts' • A phenomenon presumed to affect an experiment is called as Factor. 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. Factors • Natural environmental condition Precipitation Temperature • Soil type • Weeds • Availability of fertilizer • Availability of labour • Irrigation facility • Situation of farm • Size of farm • Type of farming • Market price • Insect, pest and diseases • Economic condition of Farmer 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. Temperature In the High temperature region we should keep the heat tolerant crop in our crop rotation. 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 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 Barseemlucern Khabal Grass controled by cotton 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 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 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 • Arid Region Wheat-sarsoon , Wheat-Groundnut Wheat-Fallow-Wheat 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 Size of the Farm • On small farm rotation will be different in comparison to the big farms. 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 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 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. • 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 Economic Condition of the Labor • When farmer is strong economically • When farmer is not strong economically
