Question

What is inter cropping ? How crops are selected for it ?

Answer 1

Inter - Cropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern. A few rows of one crop alternate with a few rows of a second crop,
For example : Soyabean + Maize,    or
                       Finger millet ( bajra ) + Cowpea ( lobia )

The crops are selected such that their nutrient requirements are different. This ensures maximum utilisation of the nutrients supplied. It also prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop in a field. This way, both crops can give better returns.
