Dear student,
 
Different ways/pattern! system of growing crops are:
(a) Mixed cropping (b) Inter-cropping (c) Crop-rotation
(a) Mixed Cropping : It is a method in which two or more crops grow simultaneously on.the same piece of land. Example: Wheat + grain, Wheat + mustard or groundnut + sunflower. This helps in the reduction of risk factor and provides insurance against failure of one of the crops.
(b) Inter-Cropping : It is growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite patterns. A few row of one crop alternate with a few rows of second crop Example: soyabean + maize.
(c) Crop-rotation : The growing of different crops on a piece of land in a pre-planned succession is known as crop-rotation.
The availability of moisture and irrigation facility decides the choice of crop to be cultivated after one harvest.
