PAS_1 "Crop rotation is a traditional and practical way for managing agroecosystem biodiversity by enhancing soil health, repressing pests and disease outbreaks (Barbieri et al., 2019), and thus increasing yields. The value and efficiency of a crop rotation depends on several factors, including crop types used in rotation (Tiemann et al., 2015), rotating series and applied frequency of certain crops (Bainard et al., 2017b), rotating length (Bennett et al., 2012), agronomic history on farmland and soil characteristics (Li et al., 2019)." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989420304790#bib128
PAS_2 "Certain crops are better in rotation than others, making it difficult to determine the best rotation sequence to maximize soil benefits (Gan et al., 2003). For example, crop rotation with grain legumes can increase productivity and protein content of wheat as the following crop, due to increased soil available N from biological fixation after legumes (Gan et al., 2003). Different chickpea genotypes (cultivars) or legume crops (such as pea and chickpea) in rotation can modify soil functional microbial communities and influence the productivity of pulse crops and the following wheat crop (Yang et al., 2013)." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989420304790#bib128
