Crops are changed in the field from year to year according to a planned sequence rather than the same crop being grown in the same field. The crop rotation can include both annual and perennial crops which are seeded for several years.

Two or more crops grown in the same field within a given year. Annual and perennial plants can be organized in fields together. Another example might be planting rows of fruit trees with cereal grains or vegetables in between and windbreaks planted around the field perimeter.

This involves growing two crops in the same field, one after the other in the same year. In some places, the rainy season is long enough to grow two crops: either two main crops, or one main crop followed by a cover crop. Growing two crops may also be possible if there are two rainy seasons, or if there is enough moisture left in the soil to grow a second crop. If the crops are different, this is a crop rotation. E.g Planting maize in the long rains, then beans during the short rains.

Cropping System Relay Cropping
Notes This is growing one crop, then planting another crop (usually a cover crop)... more
This is growing one crop, then planting another crop (usually a cover crop) in the same field before harvesting the first. This helps avoid competition between the main crop and the intercrop. It also uses the field for a longer time, since the cover crop usually continues to grow after the main crop is harvested. E.g planting maize, then sowing beans between the maize rows four weeks later.
