Research-backed benefits from African field trials across 20+ countries.
Legumes like cowpea (32 kg N/ha), soybean (80 kg N/ha), and groundnut (67 kg N/ha) fix atmospheric nitrogen into soil — reducing or eliminating the need for expensive N fertilizer in the following season.
Many pests and pathogens are crop-specific. Planting different families in sequence starves pest populations. A simple maize–cowpea rotation can reduce Striga weed infestation by up to 90% within two seasons.
Field trials across Africa show maize after soybean yields 52% more than continuous maize. Wheat after chickpea yields 30% more. These are documented averages — better soil structure and N availability drive the gains.
A season of legumes can save 40–60 kg/ha of urea in the next cereal crop. At $0.50–0.80/kg for fertilizer across Africa, that's $20–50/ha saved every other season — significant for smallholder budgets.
Alternating deep-rooted crops (cassava, pigeon pea) with shallow-rooted cereals breaks hardpan layers, improves water infiltration, and accesses nutrients at different soil depths.
The rotation data in this tool draws on studies by Dakora, Sanginga, Vanlauwe, and the IITA/CIMMYT African trial networks spanning Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Malawi, Zambia, and more.
