Mixed cropping allows two or more crops to be sowed simultaneously in the same land. Wheat and gram, wheat and mustard, ground nut and sunflower etc. are some common examples of mixed cropping. Mixed croppingalso increases soil fertility by maintaining microbial diversity.In mixed cropping, crops are chosen in such a way that they require different amounts of minerals.
Intercropping allows farmers to grow two or more crops simultaneously in the same field in a definite pattern.For example, cauliflower and chilli plants are grown together in alternating rows. To ensurethe maximum utilization of nutrients applied, crops are selected in such a way that their nutrient requirements are different. Other examples include soyabean and maize, fingermiller (bajra) and cowpea (lobia) etc.
