Detailed explanation-2: -Polyculture can improve control of some pests, weeds, and diseases while reducing the need for pesticides. Intercrops of legumes with non-legumes can increase yields on low-nitrogen soils due to biological nitrogen fixation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as intercropping, polyculture is the simultaneous cultivation of multiple diverse crops and animal species. Although this practice makes it more difficult to harvest a specific crop, it increases diversity, improves productivity, and creates a self-sustainable pest-management regime.
