Some of the methods that help to improve soil fertility are:
1. Mixed cropping is the technique wherein two or more crops are sown simultaneously on the same land, without any definite pattern. This system minimizes the risk of crop failure. Crop combinations grown in this manner include wheat and gram, wheat and mustard, and groundnut and sunflower. Mixed cropping not only increases soil fertility but also improves crop productivity.
2. Intercropping is the process wherein two or more crops are grown simultaneously in the same field in a definite pattern. In this process, a few rows of one crop alternate with a few rows of another crop. Crop combinations grown in this way include cauliflower and spinach, soya bean and maize, and bajra and lobia.
3. Crop rotation is the practice of growing two or more varieties of crops in the same field in sequential seasons. The duration of crop rotation determines the crops to be sown. It improves soil fertility and reduces the need for fertilizers. For example:
For one-year rotation: maize and mustard or wheat and rice are sown in succession.
For two-year rotation: maize, mustard, sugarcane and methi are sown in succession.
