Crop nutrition is the provision of all the nutrients, or "plant food", that the crop will need to complete its life cycle. The major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), minor nutrients (calcium, magnesium, and sulfur), and the micronutrients (copper, manganese, boron, iron, and many others) are all important for the crop to be its most productive.

How come that you have crops between the main crop?

Sometimes producers like to use the "main crop" as a nurse crop for aiding in the growth of another crop like clover, alfalfa, or other grasses that were seeded in along with the nurse crop. The main crop, be it barley or triticale or corn, acts as a kind of protector for the newly establishing plants underneath, and also as a source of nutrition when the main crop is harvested for grain or silage. Once the nurse crop is harvested, then the plants underneath can grow into plants that are intended for hay or pasture use.
