Farmers Boost Profits with Intercropping: Wheat-Mustard-Veg Formula Yields More
- •Intercropping, a modern technique, helps farmers increase profit at low cost, especially during the Rabi season.
- •Growing auxiliary crops like spinach and fenugreek alongside main crops (wheat/mustard) utilizes empty spaces and controls weeds.
- •Quick-growing vegetables provide immediate cash income in 3-4 weeks, even before the main harvest.
- •Harvesting leafy greens improves soil aeration, strengthens main crops, reduces disease, and cuts labor/weeding costs.
- •Intercropping enhances soil fertility, nitrogen balance, and meets high market demand for vegetables, ensuring sustainable profit.
Why It Matters: Intercropping offers farmers a low-cost, high-profit method to boost income and improve soil health.
