Conteúdo: | Multiple cropping describes forms of cropping practices where total primary production from a unit area of land in a farming year is achieved through growing crops in mixture which may be repeated more than once, or solo crops in sequence, or a combination of mixed and solo cropsin sequence. Multiple cropping for food production is in widespread use by farmers in the warmer parts of the world at all lavels of agricultural technology. However, the exact form of multiple cropping varies from area to area dependingon farmers total resorces. Under conditionsof low level equilibrium farming as exists in much of the developing world (e.g. Africa, Latin America, parts of India) farming operates with difficulties arising from low capital, unfavourable price relations,unsophisticated markets and rudimentary infra-structure. Here multiple cropping involving the growing of rain-fed crops in mixtures well matches the total resources available to the farmers in maintaining low but often adequate and relatively steady production.
