Intercropping-
Intercropping refers to growing of two or more crops in same field at the same time. Example of intercropping is planting alternating rows of maize and beans, or growing a cover crop in between the cereal rows.

Crop rotation
In crop rotation, crops are changed from year to year according to a planned sequence.It improves the soil structure and fertility. It also helps to control weeds, pests and diseases.

Multiple cropping-
Multiple cropping refers to growing of two or more crops in sequence on the same piece of land in a farming year. On the basis of number of crops in a year, it is called double, triple or quadruple cropping

sophie123: you are right
Amg1: yeap

HELLO MATE,

HERE IS YOUR SOLUTION ,

There are three types of cropping patterns:

1)      Mixed Cropping:

Growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same piece of land.

Minimises the risk of crop failure.

Seeds of two crops are mixed before sowing.

Pest control of individual crop is difficult.

Separate harvesting and threshing of individual crops is not possible.

Crops yield can be increased.

Example: Wheat + Gram, Wheat + Mustard, Groundnut + Sunflower

2)      Inter-cropping:

Growing two or more crops simultaneously in the same field in a definite pattern.

increases the productivity per unit area.

Pesticides can be easily applied to individual crop.

Both crops can be easily harvested and threshed.

Soil erosion is reduced.

Allows better use of natural resources such as light, soil air and water.

Example: Soyabean + Maize, Finger millet (Bajra) + Cowpea (lobia)

3)      Crop Rotation:

Growing of different crops on the same land in pre-planned succession.

Allows soil to recover its lost nutrients.

Helps to control pests, weeds and diseases.

Helps to reduce the use of chemical fertilisers.

Example: Maize-Mustard, Rice-Wheat, Maize-Mustard-Sugarcane-Fenugreek, Maize-Potato-Sugarcane-Peas.

4) Multiple Cropping:

In agriculture, multiple cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same piece of land in same growing seasons. It is a form of polyculture.
