Answer 1

The correct option is A

Mixed cropping

Mixed cropping is a method in which two or more crops of a completely different type is grown simultaneously on the same piece of land. For example, wheat and gram are grown using this pattern. Multiple cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same piece of land in the same growing seasons instead of one crop. Crop rotation is growing of different crops on a piece of land in a pre-planned succession. Inter-cropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern.
