Crop needs nutrients to grow. These are present in the soil which is reached to the plant via watering the plants.
Growing different crops on the same land can be termed as crop rotation.
When farmer grows only one crop every single time, the same nutrients are absorbed by the crop. Due to this pests and diseases stay there permanently. When different crops are planted after the harvest, then the fertility remains. It improves the health of soil in turn increase in biodiversity. Crop rotation helps return nutrients to the soil without synthetic inputs.
