In agriculture, multiple cropping or multicropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same piece of land during one growing season instead of just one crop.Thershing is difficult in multiple cropping as numerous crops are harvested together. It can take the form of double-cropping, in which a second crop is planted after the first has been harvested, In the Garhwal Himalaya of India, a practice called baranaja involves sowing 12 or more crops on the same plot, including various types of beans, grains, and millets, and harvesting them at different times. Due to this, multiple cropping became more prevalent in Asian countries.
