"Those who occasionally plant other things on the land do not seem to witness this phenomenon," An Jing continued. "Therefore, I believe that it's best not to practice monoculture on a single piece of land but to rotate crops instead."
"Crop rotation should achieve the purpose of using the land to nurture the land; moreover, it should indeed be able to prevent diseases, pests, and weeds. Crop rotation is truly far superior to monoculture.
Fearing that the Emperor of Xiyun might not understand, An Jing further explained, "Monoculture means always planting the same crop on the same plot of land, whereas crop rotation involves planting different crops on the same plot in turn."
"Monoculture...crop rotation...crop rotation..." the Emperor of Xiyun murmured these terms softly with furrowed brow. After a moment, he couldn't contain his joy and lavished high praise, "Jingjing's talents are immeasurable! Honorable father, I thank you!"
