If both crops in mixed cropping are similar, then it may result in retarded growth.
Finally, it will reduce the yield.
It will take place due to the fact that both of them will compete with each other in terms of getting same nutrient supply thus resulting in deterioration of the quality.

If both the crops in mixed cropping are similar then malnutrition of the crop plants occurs.
EXPLANATION:
Mixed cropping is also known as polycropping or co-cultivation. It is defined as the type of cropping in 2 or more crop is grown simultaneously in the same field and the same period of time.
The plants will not get the required amount of water, minerals, nutrients, etc. for proper growth and producing crop. The plants will be subjected to inter-competition among themselves. Therefore, there will be a loss of production, less growth, under-development of plants.
