mixed cropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on piece of land,this reduces risk and if the insects are some micro organisms attacks any one crop the two crops also get spoiled and also it difficult to spray the pesticides to crops

inter cropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same piece of land in a definite patterns. by this method both crops can give better yield

Intercropping

Intercropping is the practice of cultivating an additional

crop

in the spaces available between the main crop. It is a practice often associated with sustainable agriculture and organic farming. It forms a part of polyculture. Examples of intercropping strategies are planting a deep-rooted crop with a shallow-rooted crop, or planting a tall crop with a shorter crop that requires partial shade.

Mixed cropping:

A cropping system that uses more than one type of crop, growing simultaneously, on the same piece of land at the same time.
