Mixed cropping is growing two or more crops simultaneouly on a piece of land, this reduces risk and if the insects and some microorganisms attacks any one crop the two crops also get spoiled and is difficult to spray pesticides to crops.
Inter cropping is the growing of two or more crops simultaneously on a piece of land in deffinite patterns.This method of cropping can give better yeild.
