What are two cropping patterns where multiple crops are cultivated together?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The two main cropping patterns are mixed cropping and intercropping. Mixed cropping involves growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field without distinct row arrangements, such as wheat and gram or groundnut and sunflower grown together. Intercropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously in definite row patterns, like maize and soybean in alternate rows. Both practices maximize land use, reduce pest risks, improve soil fertility, and provide insurance against crop failure.
