crop alternation Explanation: I don't know however if this is a fixed term in English, or whether a similar term exists in English. The standard English term would be crop rotation (севооборот), but is different in that cropt rotation is a system that: means that the crops on a certain plot are following other crops ___according to a predefined plan___. forum.europa.eu.int/irc/dsis/coded/info/data/coded/en/gl009822.htm unlike сівозмін (севосмен), which is Система чередования сельскохозяйственных культур __без введения твердого севооборота__ http://s.uoportal.ru/show/98242/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-11-01 13:31:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- More descriptive options may work better, for example "varying crop sequences (in a crop rotation cycle)" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2006-11-01 22:49:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or just 'crop sequencing' or 'crop sequences' - this is non-binding because it does not say whether these sequences are regular or random. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-11-02 01:01:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would actually prefer crop sequencing because crop alternation is normally between two alternative crops only. |
