Beans are known to be nitrogen fixers, which means they can help to replenish nitrogen in the soil. Without chemical fertilizers, this is essential for maintaining soil fertility. Corn and cotton, in particular, are heavy nitrogen users and can deplete the soil if grown continuously without rotation. Tobacco is not a food crop and has no nutritional benefits for the soil, making it a poor choice for crop rotation.
