Summary
Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice that involves growing two or more crops in proximity 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. Several types of intercropping have been identified, including mixed intercropping, row cropping, temporal intercropping, and relay cropping. Intercropping can encourage biodiversity and mutualism, and it can also help improve pest management. Additionally, intercropping can reduce the need for pesticides and chemical fertilizers. However, careful planning is required, taking into account the soil, climate, crops, and varieties, and it is particularly important not to have crops competing with each other for physical space, nutrients, water, or sunlight.
