The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This practice reduces the reliance of crops on one set of nutrients, pest and weed pressure, along with the probability of developing resistant pests and weeds.
- Growing the same crop in the same place for many years in a row, known as monocropping, gradually depletes the soil of certain nutrients and promotes the proliferation of specialized pest and weed populations adapted to that crop system.
- Without balancing nutrient use and diversifying pest and weed communities, the productivity of monocultures is highly dependent on external inputs that may be harmful to the soil's fertility.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Crop rotation article was read about 72,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
