Abstract (in English)
In order to produce sustainable and quality agricultural products that do not cause problems to the environment, crop rotation among the agronomic practices is to improve the soil properties. In this paper, the benefits and effects of crop rotation on soil properties and improvement are studied. Adherence to agricultural crop rotation in agricultural fields has a positive role in the maintenance and recycling of elements for plants by improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. By following the crop rotation in the fields, the stability of soil aggregates increases, soil pH is improved, the amount of organic matter increases and the bulk density of the soil decreases. In addition, with the application of crop rotation, the residue of various plants remain in the soil, which is considered to be of special value in terms of the number and diversity of microorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary for farmers to consider crop rotation in their lands in order to achieve high and sustainable yields.
