Improved system production for better yield
Intercropping is a farming technique where different crops are grown together on the same land. In this case, it's about growing bananas or plantains alongside other plants. This is a really important method for farmers. However, there are also some challenges. The plants might compete for nutrients and water, and diseases could spread. Also, planting and harvesting need to be done carefully to avoid damaging the banana roots.
