Example: Soybean and maize,or finger millet (bajara) and cowpea (lobia). The selected crops should have different nutrient requirements. This ensures maximum utilization of the nutrients supplied. It also prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop in a field. This method results in a better crop yield.
