1) MIXED CROPPING
Farming is an agricultural process of harnessing solar energy in the form of economic produce of plants and animals. The
Indian farmers depend a great deal on the monsoon rain of water. Monsoon sometimes bring very rain and cause floods. Sometimes there are dry spells which lead to drought conditions. Also, the amount of rainfall in a particular season is not dependable. Therefore, the small and marginal farmers, particularly in the rain-fed regions cannot take the risk of growing specialized crops. They prefer a farming system called MIXED CROPPING which is the practice of growing of two or more crops simultaneously on the same piece of land. It is an age-old practice in our country. Indian farmers used to mix the seeds of two crops and sow in the field.
Objective of mixed cropping. The basic objective in mixed cropping is to minimize the risk and insure against the crop failure due to abnormal weather conditions.
Crop-combination used in mixed cropping. In India, the following combinations of the crops are used by farmers in mixed cropping:
i.
ii. iii. iv.
v. vi. vii.
Maize+Urad bean
Cotton+Mong bean
Groundnut+Sunflow
er
Sorghum+Pegion
pea
Wheat+Chick pea
Barley+Chick pea
Wheat+Mustard
Criteria for the selection of the crops for mixed cropping.
a) The different crops to be grown together are so selected that the products and waste materials from one crop stimulates the growth of the other crop.
b) Care is taken to select crops that do not compete with
each
