Hello friend, certainly if we have a single crop, we are also enhancing a single pest that can wipe out all the plants, with diversification we encourage plant biodiversity, such as pollinating insects, pest control insects among other benefits, similarly there is the crop rotation that includes that at a certain time change to a crop of a different family to break the cycle of certain insect pests and thus also avoid depleting the same soil nutrients.

On the other hand, crop association is important, I have conducted trials on them that I had the opportunity to share in stemsocial several years ago in my beginnings, generally associations with plants belonging to the legume family can bring benefits to the system, in terms of nutrient recycling, In the first place by the decomposition of its leaves when they fall to the ground and on the other hand, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen N2 through a symbiosis between its roots and bacteria such as rhizobium and bradyrhizobium, which are nitrogen fixers, and this element is important for plant growth.

It is evident that the symbiosis exists when in the roots are observed some kind of protuberances known as nodules.

See you later, have a great weekend.
