Break crops generally refer to a pulse or oilseed crop grown instead of cereals. The decision not to grow wheat but to grow and choose a break crop is based on many factors including the relative profitability of the crops – yield by price, the cereal disease pressure, herbicide resistance and personal preference. 3, record 1, English, - break%20crop

Pour certaines cultures, on parle de têtes de rotation : il s'agit, le plus souvent, de cultures considérées comme améliorantes : nécessité d'une préparation profonde du sol ou d'une fumure abondante, apport éventuel d'amendements humiques, lutte soignée indispensable contre les mauvaises herbes; dans la plupart des cas la tête de rotation est le précédent à blé. La betterave et le maïs, par exemple, sont de bonnes têtes de rotation [...] 3, record 1, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20rotation
