Intercropping is work on including growing at least two
crops at the same time on an equivalent land. The fundamental favorable
position of Intercropping is getting more significant returns from a similar
land which in any case not be used by a single crop.
Intercropping needs cautious arranging wherein the soil,
water, atmosphere, light, and so on. While arranging Intercropping it is
important to choose the crops which don't rival each other for space, nutrient,
water, or daylight. It is fitting to develop crops like shallow established
harvests with profound established crops, tall crops with a short plant,
conceal cherishing plant with light requiring plants, early developing plant
with late-developing plant, etc. Such arranging will guarantee the additional
yield advantage for the farmers from various crops.
Intercropping likewise helps in giving shared advantages to
the crops. For example, developing vegetables alongside grains, vegetables will
fix climatic nitrogen in the soil and consequently improving the nitrogen
take-up to the adjoining plants.
Developing light touchy plants alongside the tall plants
gives a shade which in any case was wasted. For Example, in the multi-level
cropping system, the tall plants like Coconut, arecanut involve the top level
followed by banana, bhendi which possess center level and short plants like
pineapple, ginger, vegetables, beetroot, etc involve the lower covering/level
which will guarantee great crop overhang and more significant returns from
various crop sources.
Intercropping additionally give great biodiversity by giving
a habitat for a variety of insects, soil organisms, etc which give nitrogen
fixation and fixing other significant supplements in the soil which will be
deficient in single crop conditions...
The other main advantage of intercropping is pest
management. Following good intercropping practices reduces the crop pest
outbreaks by increasing the predator biodiversity. Also avoiding mono cropping
will control and manage the biological dispersal of pest organisms through the
crop.
Intercropping additionally goes about as crop insurance
during crop disappointment because of unexpected climate conditions. It
likewise goes about like a soil conservator and limits the weed development
because of good overhang spread. It will likewise guarantee better usage of
supplements and composts which in any case be wasted through overflow and
drain. Crops can likewise be developed in exchange strips running opposite to
the incline of the land subsequently preserving soil from erosion and
depletion.
The fundamental disadvantage in intercropping is yield
variety because of various serious capacities of crops. Additionally, inter
development exercises will be hard to lead because of crop density. Harvesting will
be difficult.
With the negligible disadvantage, Intercropping is
advantageous to the farmers whenever made do with appropriate arranging and
direction to get an additional source of income.
