(N/A) Intercropping is a method used for high-yielding crop production. In this method,two or more crops are grown simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern. $A$ few rows of one crop alternate with a few rows of a second crop.
Example: Soybean and maize,or finger millet (bajara) and cowpea (lobia). The selected crops should have different nutrient requirements. This ensures maximum utilization of the nutrients supplied. It also prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop in a field. This method results in a better crop yield.
