FARMING SYSTEM

MIXED FARMING

This is an agricultural system in which a farmer conducts different agricultural practice together, such as cash crops and livestock. The aim is to increase income through different sources and to complement land and labour demands across the year.

 

MONOCROPPING

This is the agricultural practice of growing a single crop year after year on the same land, in the absence of rotation through other crops or growing multiple crops on the same land (polyculture). Corn , soybeans , and wheat are three common crops often grown using monocropping techniques.

 

SOLE CROPPING

Growing one crop alone or in pure stand, either as a single crop or as a sequence of single crops within the year.

 

MIXED CROPPING

Mixed cropping is a system of sowing two or three crops together on the same land, one being the main crop and the others the subsidiaries.
