A short summary of the sources. Open the crop page for more detail.

Crop	Gap on the same parcel
🫛 Pea	At least a 5-year rotation for legumes (Luke, Hukka guide).
🫘 Faba bean	At most every fourth year. Depending on disease pressure, an interval of 3–5 years (VYR).
🌼 Turnip rape	Only every 5th year on the same parcel (VYR, clubroot and Sclerotinia).
🌻 Oilseed rape	Only every 5th year on the same parcel (VYR).
🌾 Oat	Do not run five cereal years in a row. Luke (2025) classes that as cereal monoculture.
🌾 Barley	Not back to back with barley, wheat or rye. Five cereal years in a row is cereal monoculture (Luke 2025).
🌾 Spring wheat	Not back to back with barley, wheat or rye. Five cereal years in a row is cereal monoculture (Luke 2025).
🌾 Rye	Reserve a parcel that is free in time. Do not rely on a late spring crop.
☘️ Red clover / ley	A ley stays on the parcel for several years. It is not treated as the annual mistake of the same crop twice.
🌿 Caraway	Trans Farm: a 3–5 year cycle. Continuous caraway on the same parcel is not recommended.
🥔 Potato	Seed potato: at least 2 break years (Finnish Food Authority). Black scurf: at most once in three years (PETLA). Home plot: a 3–4 year rotation (Martha Association).

Do not sow the same annual crop two years running (aoe.fi).
Oilseed on the same parcel only every 5th year (VYR).
Legumes: at least a 5-year rotation; faba bean at most every 4th year (Luke, VYR).
Potato: seed potato = 1 year + 2 break years (Finnish Food Authority); black scurf at most once in three years (PETLA).
Five cereal years in a row is cereal monoculture (Luke 2025).
Do not establish caraway after Sclerotinia hosts (Trans Farm).
