How inter cropping prevent erosion?

Intercropping helps prevent erosion by increasing ground cover and root density, which reduces the impact of raindrops on soil, slows water runoff, and holds soil in place. Different crops with varying root structures also help improve soil structure and stability, making it more resistant to erosion. Overall, intercropping contributes to better soil conservation and reduces the risk of erosion.


What does the number 1 2 mean in intercropping?

In intercropping, the number "1 2" typically denotes a planting ratio, indicating that for every one unit of the primary crop, two units of a secondary crop are planted. This approach can enhance resource use efficiency, improve biodiversity, and reduce pest and disease incidence. The specific ratio chosen depends on the crops involved and the desired outcomes, such as maximizing yield or optimizing space.
