Growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern is specifically known as inter cropping.

– Inter cropping involves planting crops in specific arrangements, such as alternating rows of different crops. This pattern helps in efficient resource utilization and can offer benefits like pest and disease control, as well as soil improvement.

– Mixed cropping involves growing multiple crops simultaneously but without a definite pattern, typically by mixing the seeds before sowing.
– Mixed farming is a broader term that involves both crop cultivation and livestock rearing on the same farm.
– Hybrid farming usually refers to agricultural practices that utilize hybrid seeds or potentially a combination of conventional and modern farming techniques.
