Including a variety of specific methods, such as single cropping system, mixed cropping system, intercropping system, interplanting system, sowing system and multiple cropping system. Different planting methods require different cultivation techniques and measures. Planting mode is an agricultural technical method that operates according to a certain crop type and configuration mode under a certain planting system.

According to the requirements of planting system, the planting method makes full use of local natural and economic conditions, correctly handles the relationship between soil fertility and crop types, forms different crop groups, and combines land cultivation with land cultivation to achieve high and stable yield and comprehensive harvest.

History of planting methods

Intensive cultivation is a fine tradition of agriculture in China. Rotation multiple cropping and intercropping interplanting are unique planting methods in traditional agriculture in China, which must be inherited and developed in agricultural modernization. Reforming planting methods is a key link in the reform of farming system. A region or a production unit should be based on market demand and local specific conditions.

On the premise of high yield, high quality and low cost, we should scientifically and reasonably match various planting methods to create a richer ecological model of compound crop groups according to local conditions. With the progress of agricultural science, planting methods are developing towards making full use of all growing seasons and their environmental resources.
