My review paper ‘Diversified Crop Rotation: An Approach for Sustainable Agriculture Production’ is published in the international journal ‘Advances in Agriculture’.

Diversified crop rotation (DCR) improves the efficiency of farming systems all over the world. It has the potentiality to improve soil condition and boost system productivity. Improved soil attributes such as increased soil water uptake and storage,and a greater number of beneficial soil organisms, may improve yield tolerance to drought and other hard growing conditions in a variety of crop rotations.Crop Rotations with a variety of crops benefit the farmers,reduce production risk and uncertainty, and enhance soil and ecological sustainability. Farmers may be able to diversify their sources of income by adopting diversified crop rotations. Furthermore, because of the distinct structure, function, and relationship of plant community with soil in DCR, it contributes to the long-term development of soil health by decreasing insect, weed, and disease incidence and increasing the physical and chemical structure of the soil. DCR is becoming more popular approach for maintaining sustainable crop production.This review provides the evidence of the evidence of the significance of DCR,challenges to adapt it, and possible way out to overcome the challenges.

I take this opportunity to thank Kabita Kumari Shah, Bindu Modi, Hari Prasad Pandey, Arjun Subedi, Geeta Aryal, and Jiban Shrestha sir for this wonderful journey from manuscript preparation to publication.

Thanks to all the restless helping hands during the manuscript preparation.
