Multiple cropping is the agricultural practice of growing two or more crops in the same field during the same growing season. This type of polyculture can be categorized into two ways: double-cropping, where the second crop is planted after the first is harvested; and relay cropping, when the second crop is planted before the first has been harvested.

This is called "crop rotation", and helps to ensure that one particular crop does not deplete the top soil of needed nutrients.
