2. It acts as an insurance against failure of crops in abnormal year.
3. Inter-crops maintain the soil fertility as the nutrient uptake is made from both layers of soil.
4. Reduction in soil runoff and controls weeds.
5. Intercrops provide shade and support to the other crop.
6. Inter cropping system utilizes resources efficiently and their productivity is increased (Reddy and Redid, 1992).
