Question

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

Answer

Method: Inter-cropping

It is a method of growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern (e.g., a few rows of soybean alternating with a few rows of maize).

How it ensures high yield:

  1. It ensures maximum utilization of nutrients and sunlight.

  2. It prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all plants of one crop.

  3. This results in better returns (high yield) from both crops.
