Row intercropping refers to:

• A. The process of growing two different crops in the same field in alternating rows
• B. Planting two crops in the same row
• C. Planting a crop with a cover crop only
• D. Harvesting two crops in sequence

Answer: (A)

Row intercropping is growing two different crops in alternating rows in the same field. This pattern lets each crop occupy its own row, so both crops grow at the same time and can use light, water, and nutrients in complementary ways. It can also help with weed suppression and soil cover.

This differs from planting two crops in the same row, which mixes crops without the clear alternating-row structure. It also isn’t about using a cover crop with a crop (that’s cover cropping for soil protection) or harvesting two crops in sequence (that’s crop rotation, not simultaneous intercrop).
