Question

what types of crops are grown in intercropping and mixed cropping​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are several types of crops grown in intercropping and mixed cropping such as groundnut, wheat and sunflower.

When animal husbandry is also done along with the production of crops, it is called mixed farming or mixed farming. When more than one crop is grown in one place at a time, it is called mixed crop.

Along with crop production, when animal husbandry is also a source of income, such farming is called mixed farming.

In mixed farming, crop production is limited to milking cows and buffalo. When apart from cow buffalo, sheep, goat or poultry are also raised along with crop production.

Answer 2

Mixed cropping, also known as polyculture, inter-cropping, or co-cultivation, is a type of agriculture that involves planting two or more plants simultaneously in the same field, interdigitating the crops—like interlocking your fingers—so that they grow together. Since crops ripen during different seasons, planting more than one saves space and also provides a wealth of environmental benefits including maintaining a balance of input and outgo of soil nutrients; weed, disease, insect pest suppression; resistance to climate extremes (wet, dry, hot, cold); an increase in overall productivity, and management of scarce land resources to its maximum potential.
