3 Types of multiple Cropping

A. The agronomist Darmpal classified it is the following ways

1) Mono­culture

It is the growing of same crop in the same field in a year. e.g. rice after rice, jute after  jute.

2) Duo­culture

2 types of crops are grown alternately in every year in a piece of land. e.g. Jute after  vegetable, Rice after vegetable.

3) Poly­culture

It is the combination of more than 2 types of crops grown in sequence in a piece of land in  a year.

B. Also types as

1) Pure stand multiple Cropping

It is a multiple in which the crops are grown successively in a definite  period of time of the year in the unit of land, possessed by farmers. In this Practice each crop sown and  harvested separately with independent land preparation for each crops. e.g. Aus paddy → T. amon →  Lentil.

2) Mixed type of multiple cropping

It is that kind of multiple cropping in which two or more crops are  grown concurrently and mixed together in the same season and in the same piece of land. In mixed  cropping one crop is harvested after another depending on their maturity period. E.g. Aus+B. amon,  Mustard+lentil, Barley+Rai.

3) Inter­crop type of multiple cropping

It is a kind of multiple cropping, in which same minor crop are  grown in between the space of major crops in alternate pattern. e.g. In between two rows of sugarcane,  lentil can be sown.

4) Relay type of multiple cropping

In this system of multiple cropping, the second or minor crop is  sown shortly before the harvest of major crops. e.g. Sowing of seeds of khesari in the field of  T. amon,  sowing of seeds of water­melon in Rice field.
