Crop diversification by including different cerealand horticultural crops in the cropping sequence can help farmers earn more money and increase productivity. A study in Eastern Uttar Pradesh found that using proper soil treatment and fertilizer management led to higher vegetable yields, with tomatoes yielding up to 407.1 q/ha. Crop sequences with two vegetable crops had significantly higher rice equivalent yields compared to traditional rice-wheat sequences. Intensive vegetable-based cropping patterns, including growing three seasonal vegetables a year, can boost productivity and economic returns, especially for small and medium farmers.
