• Crop rotationCompared with: Unlike rotation, intercropping arranges crop diversity in space rather than succession alone.

• Cover cropRelated: Intercropping describes spatially mixing crops, which can include a cover crop with a cash crop.

• MonocultureCompared with: Growing species together provides a direct alternative to single-species fields.

• Subsistence agricultureRelated: Combining crops can provide varied food and make efficient use of household plots.

• AgroecologyRelated: Crop mixtures can shape competition, resource use, and beneficial ecological interactions.

• AllelopathyRelated: Chemical interference can contribute to the effects of particular crop combinations on weeds and neighboring crops.

• Three SistersNarrower topic: The Three Sisters is a distinctive example of this broader farming strategy.

• Agricultural biodiversityBroader topic: It is a specific way to arrange crop diversity in space.

• Rain-fed agricultureRelated: Crop combinations can spread climate risk and use rainfall at different times or depths.

• Companion plantingNarrower topic: Companion planting is commonly practiced as a form of mixed cropping.

• PolycultureBroader topic: It is the spatial form of polyculture in which crops grow together during part or all of a season.

• MilpaNarrower topic: Milpa’s crop combinations are a form of intercropping.

• Rainfed agricultureRelated: Different rooting patterns and growth schedules can spread rainfall risk.

• Smallholder agricultureRelated: Intercropping can diversify harvests and make efficient use of limited land.

• Tropical agricultureRelated: Mixed crops can use space and resources differently while spreading production risks.

• CowpeaRelated: Cowpea is often grown with cereals such as maize or sorghum.

• MilletRelated: Farmers often grow millet alongside legumes to diversify harvests and manage risk.

• African agricultureRelated: Combining crops can spread risk and use light, water, and nutrients differently across a field.

• Crop diversificationBroader topic: It is a direct form of diversification within a single growing season.

• Oasis agricultureRelated: Oasis farmers can use space beneath palms for crops with different light and water needs.

• Multiple croppingBroader topic: It grows crops simultaneously, often arranging them to share light, water, and soil resources.

• Pigeon peaRelated: Pigeon pea’s growth habit and long season suit mixed-crop systems.

• Vigna aconitifoliaRelated: Farmers grow moth bean alongside crops such as pearl millet to diversify dryland fields.
