Question 2

Also, she prefers minimal initial investment on equipment and labor. Which of the following sets of agronomic principles would help her best in designing an effective crop rotation sequence?
◦ two-season interval between the same crop; livestock diversified farming; crops with high nutrient demand; variation in crop rotation sequence
◦ three-season interval between the same crop; vegetable crops for rotation; crops with high nutrient demand; variation in crop rotation sequence
◦ two-season interval between the same crop; vegetable crops for rotation; crops with slow germination and root growth; constant crop rotation sequence
◦ two-season interval between the same crop; livestock diversified farming; intensive tillage before planting; constant crop rotation sequence
