Crop Rotation

The crop rotation calendar is an essential tool for sustainable farming and food security. With this tool, you can plan new sowings by analyzing historical sowings in a single place.

When you navigate to the “Crop rotation” section, the list on the left displays all fields in your account. At the top of the crop rotation calendar, you’ll find:

  • names of your seasons
  • duration of each season
  • proportion of hectares for each crop in the season.

 

There are three field statuses on the crop rotation calendar for the season:

1) Field not available in the season.
