Question

difference between mixed cropping and multiple cropping​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mixed Farming refers to a cropping system where two or more crops are cultivated in the same piece of land simultaneously. This technique is practised to reduce the risk of total crop failure because of less rainfall or adverse climatic conditions.

Intercropping is a cropping technique in which two or more crops are cultivated simultaneously in the same piece of land adhering to a specific row pattern in order to increase the productivity of the crops. This technique is generally followed by small farmers who are completely dependent on the rainfall for better yield and do not have any other options like canals and tube wells, etc.
