Actually, as my reference shows, it may be better to leave out "crop", because the field could have been fallow.

Precessione colturale
Per ottenere una coltura sana e produttiva è bene evitare di ripetere la coltura sullo stesso terreno (monosuccessione); la coltura ripetuta determina:
- aumento delle infestanti ed in particolare di quelle graminacee (avena, loglio, ecc.)
- aumento delle malattie fungine
La migliore precessione per il triticale, e per le graminacee in generale, è rappresentata dalle leguminose in quanto:
- apportano azoto organico con i residui colturali
- consentono un miglior controllo delle infestanti graminacee
- determinano una scarsa infestazione dei funghi che causano il ‘mal del piede’

neutral  philgoddard: No, as your first reference shows, that's "rotazione". This is about the previous crop in the rotation.
