Inter croping best practices

Environment improvement farmingIntercropping is a practice that involves growing two or more crops simultaneously on a same piece of land. The main advantage of inter cropping is getting higher returns from the same piece of land which otherwise not be utilized by a single crop.

Inter cropping needs a careful planning wherein the soil, water, climate, light etc are taken into account. While planning inter cropping it is important to select the crops which do not compete with each other for space, nutrient, water or sunlight. It is advisable to grow crops like shallow rooted crops with deep rooted crops, tall crop with a short plant, shade loving plant with light requiring plants, early maturing crop with late maturing crops etc.

 

ZORUDANA has a demonstration site where farmers can learn the advantages of intercropping which improves environment and increase food store with varieties of farm outputs. On the left is Mr. Omirambe who is pausing in the demonstration plot of beans, avocado, yams and banana.
