Question

Short note on cropping pattern mixed cropping , inter cropping , crop rotation

Answer 1

Mixed Cropping: It refers to growing of two or more corps without any pattern by mixing the seeds of different crops.

Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity. The most common goal of intercropping is to produce a greater yield on a given piece of land by making use of resources or ecological processes that would otherwise not be utilized by a single crop.

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms is not used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield.
