Crop rotation for sustainable soil health and pest control
Practical guide to designing effective crop rotations for sustainable soil health and higher yields
or
Detail description
Optimise crop rotation to prevent soil-borne diseases and pests, enhance soil health, and achieve long-term economic benefits. This evidence-based approach supports sustainable agriculture in both organic and conventional farming by balancing crop families and improving soil fertility. The Best4Soil video tool, part of the EU’s Horizon Europe project, provides practical guidance with regional examples from the Netherlands and Spain. Resources are available via the Organic Farm Knowledge platform and the Best4Soil website.
