Crop Rotation in Cotton Farming

Cultivating cotton in rotation method is very important. Cotton should be followed by crops like sugarcane, maize, banana, etc. Cotton should not be followed by cotton as it increases the pest and disease problems.
Cotton production methods varies in India depending on the region and the farmer. Depends on the season and the crops that are chosen different variables come in to place such as: type of soil, Ph, climate conditions and cultural characteristics. High productions systems do not use crop rotations but use a high inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. Even though crop rotation is important for pest and diseases control; some companies in India do not take this into account because high production and demand.
Some small scale farmers in India do use the crop rotations systems since they produce other crops as well. The yield that these producers have is lower compared to the high scale producers. Nevertheless, small scale farmers contribute a large number to India's cotton production.
