Solution
The correct option is B Row intercropping The cropping pattern where two different crop plants are planted in alternate rows is called as row intercropping. The advantages of such a pattern are: a) It increases the productivity per surface area b) It helps to save labour and time. c) Both the crops can be easily harvested at the same time
