Advantages of Multiple Cropping

The advantages of multiple cropping are as follows:

1. Increase in productivity per unit area, time, cost, and total output, with an increase in farmer’s gross income.
2. Fast turnover improved the annual income distribution resulting in increased reuse of working capital.
3. Increase overall employment and labor distribution and other use of capital throughout the year, and increase opportunities to grow, preserve, process, and market seeds on farms.
4. Minimize erosion and soil degradation.
5. Maximum Possible Land Use, Manure, Fertilizer, Moisture, and Residual Impacts of Management Practices.
6. Minimize rental, irrigation, and other attributable costs per unit of output.
7. Improved selection and substitution of crop varieties according to agroecological conditions, crop patterns, and programs according to domestic demand and market competition.
8. The reduced fallow period has improved weed control almost completely.
9. Improving farm nutrition through crop diversification.
10. Employment opportunities have been created for agricultural workers and others involved in the processing and marketing of agricultural products.

Multiple cropping refers to the practice in which the cultivation of two or more crops is done on the same plot of land during the same growing season. The multiple cropping patterns, there is an increase in agricultural output and also diversifying of the crop mixture for the purposes of both economic and environmental factors.

Cropping is the process of selecting specific plants to grow on a larger field to achieve the desired yield. This can be done manually using tillage tools or machines. Growth decisions are based on many factors, including the desired yield, the space the plant will occupy, and whether the plant is resistant to a particular disease or pest.
