CONTINUOUS CROPPING SYSTEM OF FARMING

continuous cropping system of farming. advantages and disadvantages of continuous cropping system. the cultivation of crops on a piece of land and replanting crops on the same piece of land the following planting season without allowing the land to fallow or rest.

most often continuous system of cropping is practiced where there is scarcity of land. at this a farmer makes use of a piece of land for several planting season due to lack of availability of land.

 

 

WHAT IS CONTINUOUS CROPPING SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURE

continuous cropping system of agriculture

is a system by which involves the growing of the same type of crops, on the same piece of land every year. The system is normally practiced where there is scarcity of land and dense population, or where environmental conditions limit the type of crops that can be cultivated in that area. Crops such as millet- can only be grown in some parts of Northern Nigeria.

In continuous cropping system of agriculture, a lot has to be done by the farmer to improve the fertility of the soil, by the addition of organic and inorganic manure.

 

Advantages of continuous cropping

(i) in continuous cropping, A lot of time, energy and money is saved, since the farmer does not have a clear new farmland every year.
(ii) continuous cropping helps to economize the use of farmland.

 

Disadvantages of continuous cropping

(i) Continuous cropping encourages soil erosion.
(ii) continuous cropping also leads to rapid loss of soil fertility
(iii) continuous cropping encourages low yield.
(iv) A lot of money is expended in buying fertilizers to improve the fertility of the soil in continuous cropping.
(v) continuous cropping encourages the build-up of pests, diseases and weeds in the farm.
(vi) continuous cropping encourages the deterioration of the physical and chemical conditions of the soil.

how to maintain soil nutrient during continuous cropping system of farming

 

to maintain a certain quality of soil nutrient in order to boost crop production, the following processes should be adhered to strictly

1. during weeding and harvesting of crops, the residue or the cleared seed should be used as compost to enrich the soil nutrient.
2. continuous application fertilizer should be encouraged when engaging in continuous system of farming
3. try to rotate the position of crop within the farm during the next planting season as this cub the spread of diseases in the farm. this aspect is also known as crop rotation system of farming
4. each year during the continuous cropping period, it is very important to till the soil properly before planting so as to loosen the topmost soil reach easy penetration of plant roots for nutrients
5. the use of surface irrigation is very key for the sustainability of the soil nutrient
