describe how the practices of mixed cultivation and crop rotation help in increasing crop yeald.

Crop rotation helps in increasing crop yield by the following ways:

  • It improves fertility of the soil
  • It saves nitrogenous fertilizers as the leguminous plants grown in rotation increases the soil nitrogen level
  • It helps in weed and pest control
  • It is economically beneficial for the farmers

 

Advantages of mixed cropping:

  • Two types of crops can be obtained at same time and cost.
  • It reduces the risk of total failure as atleast one crop will grow if condition is not that adverse.
  • Mixed cropping reduces the growth of weeds and pests.
  • Cropping of leguminous plants with cereal crops increases the fertility which usually gets reduced by cereal cropping only.
