Intercropping and interplanting in agriculture

The concepts of intercropping and interplanting

1. Intercropping refers to planting two or more crops with similar growth periods in the same field.

2. monoculture: in the same field, only one crop is planted in one growing season, that is ~.

3. mixed cropping: a planting method of planting two or more crops in the same field at the same time, that is ~.

4. Intercropping: refers to the planting method of interplanting two crops with different growing seasons between rows before harvest. For example, interplanting corn in the later stage of wheat growth can not only advance the sowing date of corn, but also avoid the problem of tight farm work in double summer.

Reasons for increasing yield of intercropping and interplanting

1. Three-dimensional use of space, continuous use of time, and coordination of conflicts between crops and land; It is a simulation of natural ecosystem stratification;

2. Combination of land use and land cultivation: Gramineae-Leguminosae; Intercropping can reduce the exposure time of the ground and maintain soil and water;

3. Improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions in the field;

4. Use sideline business;

5. Increase the resilience of crops: complicate the farmland ecosystem and enhance the resilience of crop groups.
