Multiple Cropping Philosophy
The philosophy of multiple cropping is based on the following concepts:
- High productivity is good for the soil.
- Minimizing tillage makes the soil brittle and retains soil organic matter to achieve good physical conditions.
- Living Mulch provides protection from all forms of erosion and weeds.
- Proper management of manure and fertilizer residues.
- Consistent harvesting allows for efficient use of land, labor, capital, and other available resources.
- There is an opportunity to increase production with higher yields.
What are the Advantages of Multiple Cropping System?
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.
