Inter cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops simultaneously in the same field, often in a definite row pattern. This differs from crop rotation, where different crops are grown sequentially in the same field over different seasons or years.
Inter cropping aims to maximize yield per unit area by making use of resources that would otherwise not be utilized by a single crop, and can also help in pest and disease management.
Examples of inter cropping include growing rows of legumes between rows of a cereal crop or planting shorter duration crops alongside longer duration ones. Crop rotation helps in maintaining soil fertility and breaking pest cycles. Alternate cropping is not a standard agricultural term. Kharif cropping refers to the monsoon season cropping cycle in the Indian subcontinent.
