  • Crops such as moong or urad can be grown with shallow roots and ready in a short time between the vacant spaces between rows of cotton crop. 

  • Inter-cropping will also increase the additional profits and weeds will not be put on the empty space.

  • Inter-cropping helps prevent soil erosion during rainy days.

  • By this method, the variation of crops keeps the crop safe from diseases and pests.

  • This method acts as an insurance against failure of crops in excess or low rainfall. Which avoids the risk of farmers, because even after a crop is destroyed, the yield of the supporting crop is available.
