Question

The method of cropping where a short-term crop is cultivated with the main crop is known as:

• A. Inter-cropping
• B. Single cropping
• C. Rotation cropping
• D. Random cropping

Answer 1

The correct option is A Inter-cropping

Intercropping is a cropping technique in which two or more crops are cultivated simultaneously in the same piece of land adhering to a specific row pattern in order to increase the agricultural productivity. This technique is generally followed by small farmers who are completely dependent on the rainfall for better yield and do not have any other options like canals, tube wells, etc.
