 Crop Diversification
• refers to the addition of new crops or cropping systems to
agricultural production on a particular farm taking into
account the different returns from value-added crops with
complementary marketing opportunities.

• Practice of growing more than one crop (or enterprise) in any

year to increase financial and biological stability of the farm.
 Advantages:

2.Less risk to crop failure and market price of the product.

enterprises.
4. Soil erosion can be checked as land kept under cultivated
throughout the year
5. Soil fertility can be checked as land kept under cultivated
throughout the year.
6. Diversified farming is less risky than specialized farming.
