Cotton crops are considered good for inter-cropping crops because cotton crops grow slowly in the beginning and remain in the field for a long time, which are considered good for other inter-cropping crops. The main objective of inter-cropping is to get maximum yield of cotton crop along with additional crop.
Inter-cropping for irrigated areas:
- Cotton + Chilli (1: 1 in a row ratio)
- Cotton + Onion (in the ratio of 1: 5 rows)
- Cotton + Soybean (1: 2 in row ratio)
- Cotton + linseed (as green manure) (in the ratio of 1: 2 row)
Inter-cropping for rainfed areas:
- Cotton + Onion (in the ratio of 1: 5 rows)
- Cotton + Chilli (1: 1 in a row ratio)
- Cotton + Peanut (in 1: 3 row ratio)
- Cotton + Moong (1: 3 in a row ratio)
- Cotton + soybean (1: 3 in row ratio)
- Cotton + Arhar (in 1: 1 row ratio)
