This document discusses multiple cropping systems in agriculture. It defines multiple cropping as growing two or more crops in the same piece of land during a single growing season. The main types of multiple cropping systems discussed are sequential cropping, intercropping, and multistoried cropping. Sequential cropping involves growing crops in sequence, with one harvested before the next is planted. Intercropping grows crops simultaneously in mixtures or rows. Multistoried cropping utilizes different plant heights. Advantages include reduced risk, increased production, and soil fertility benefits from legumes. Disadvantages can include pest transfers between crops and difficult weeding.
