Mix and rotate crops
Planting of the same crop each season - as sometimes practiced in conventional farming is minimized by planting the right mix of crops in the same field, and rotating crops from season to season. This allows a break down of survival and multiplication cycles of pests, diseases and weeds resulting in higher yields and maintenance of soil fertility.
