The growing of two or more crops in a definite row pattern is known as intercropping. About Intercropping: * It is a crop cultivation method where two or more different kinds of crops are cultivated together within the same field but following a specific pattern, such as planting in rows. * The seeds of these various varieties of crops are sown in rows following the particular pattern but they are not combined during sowing. * The specific needs of each crop such as fertilizer, pesticide etc. are catered to specifically and not as a full. * This method does not lead to competition between the crops and thus yields more production. * In mixed cropping or mixed farming, two independent crops are mixed together and grown in an area without following any pattern.
