Science Question on Improvement in Crop Yields

Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.

Answer

Inter cropping is a method used for a high yielding crop production. In this method, two or more crops are grown simultaneously on the same field in definite pattern. A few rows of one crop alternate with a few rows of second crop.
Example: soybean, maize or finger millet (bajara) and caw pea (labia).
The selected crops should have different nutrient requirements. This ensures maximum utilisatian of the nutrients supplied. It also prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop in a field. This method gives a better crop yield.
