Intercropping

Intercropping is an agricultural practice where two or more different crops are grown together in the same field simultaneously. This method enhances resource use efficiency, such as sunlight, water, and nutrients, and can help reduce pests and diseases by increasing biodiversity. It often leads to better crop yields, improved soil health, and reduced reliance on chemical inputs. By carefully selecting compatible crops, farmers can maximize land productivity and create a more sustainable and resilient farming system.
