Explanation:

The effects of crop rotations with fallow, groundnut (Arachis hypogea) and cotton (Gossypium sp) on soil and subsequent sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) yields were studied with a 14-years (1993–2007) old experiment at Farakô-Ba (4° 20′ West, 11° 6′ North and 405 m altitude) in the Guinean zone of Burkina Faso. A factorial design in a split-plot arrangement with four rotation and eight fertilizer treatments were used. Crop rotations with groundnut or annual fallow increased succeeding sorghum yields.
