Intensification of agriculture during the era of cheap industrial inputs neglected crop rotation; it was supposed that crop rotation could be replaced by fertilizers and pesticides. Now, we know better. Data from the long-term field experiment on crop rotations and fertilizers on the Typical chernozem of the Bălti Steppe in Moldova show that the effect of crop rotation-the difference between yields of crops in rotation and yields from continuous monocropping-is much greater than the effect of fertilization-the difference between yields of crops on fertilized and unfertilized plots. Fertilization diminishes the effect of crop rotation but does not replace it. The effect of fertilization is greater under continuous monocropping because of poor soil health. Improving soil health by a diverse crop rotation that includes perennial legumes and grasses improves all soil functions and reduces dependence on costly synthetic fertilizers, irrigation, and chemical control of weeds, pests and diseases. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
