Question

Write the significance of the following crop improvement
Intercropping
Organic farming
Mixed cropping

Answer 1

Hey dear !!

So here's your answer :-

(1) ᏆᑎᎢᗴᖇᑕᖇᝪᑭᑭᏆᑎᏀ :-

✴It is the technique of growing two or more crops simultaneously but in different rows in same field.

✴It ensures maximum utilisation of nutrients and decreases the chances of spread of crop pests and pathogens.

ᝪᖇᏀᗩᑎᏆᑕ ᖴᗩᖇᗰᏆᑎᏀ :-

✴It is the method of using eco-friendly methods of crop improvement like crop rotation, animal husbandry, biofertiligers, green manures, biological pest control etc,

✴So reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.In this, the wastes produced in one process act as raw material of another process and so on.

✴ It checks environmental pollution and helps in developing a sustainable agriculture system.



ᗰᏆ᙭ᗴᗞ ᑕᖇᝪᑭᑭᏆᑎᏀ :-

✴The process of growing two or more different crops together in the same Feild is called mixed cropping. For Example : Growing rice with Howard or maize ; cotton with groundnut etc .

✴It saves time and labour, helps in optional usage of soil; reduces the chances of pest damage; increases the yeild; gives variety of produce.

Answer 2

HEYA !!!

## HERE'S YOUR ANSWER -

INTERCROPPING -

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.

Planting two crops in close proximity can especially be beneficial when the two plants interact in a way that increases one or both of the plant's fitness (and therefore yield). For example, plants that are prone to tip over in wind or heavy rain (lodging-prone plants), may be given structural support by their companion crop.

## ORGANIC FARMING -

Biological research into soil and soil organisms has proven beneficial to organic farming. Varieties of bacteria and fungi break down chemicals, plant matter and animal waste into productive soil nutrients. In turn, they produce benefits of healthier yields and more productive soil for future crops.


 Organic Farming Discourages Environmental Exposure to Pesticides and Chemicals




Organic Farming Builds Healthy Soil


Organic Farming Helps Combat Erosion


Organic Farming Fights the Effects of Global Warming


Organic Farming Supports Water Conservation and Water Health



Organic Farming Discourages Algae Blooms

## MIXED CROPPING -

Crops maintain more productivity with lesser input

There is more land to be farmed with same amount of labor and machinery.

According to some scientific basis there is almost 25% increase in yield relative to monocropping.

There is reduction in need of artificial fertilizers, which can otherwise be expensive.

Reduce infection of pest and disease as most crop tend to be attacked by different pest/disease.

There is high yield and high productivity if managed well

Intensive culitvation is possible.

It lessens likelihood of total crop failure, as you can be able to result to other mixed crop.
