Question

advantages of multiple cropping

Answer 1

Advantages With multiple cropping the risk of total loss from drought, pests and diseases is reduced. Some of the crops can survive and produce a yield.It gives maximum production from small plots. This can help farmers cope with land shortages.Including legumes in the cropping pattern helps maintain soil fertility by fixing nitrogen in the soil.Different types of crops can be produced, thereby providing a balanced diet for the family.Because of high planting density weeds are suppressed.Different seasonal crops can be planted.For example, crops that require a lot of water can be grown in the wet season,inter cropped with drought-resistant crops that can be harvested in the following dry season

Answer 2

The advantage of multiple cropping is protection from an entire crop failure.

• Multiple cropping is a process where two or more crops are harvested in the same piece of land rather than just one crop. The crop is also cultivated in this method only in a particular growing season.
• The advantages of multiple cropping are -

1. Reduction of the risk of total loss from pest, drought and diseases.
2. It helps the farmers with land shortages as it gives full production in small plots.
3. It also helps in maintaining the fertility of soil by nitrogen fixation.
