Summary
Cotton is an important cash crop in India, providing income to millions of smallholder farmer households. However, climate change and irregular rainfall patterns are increasingly threatening rural cotton farmers’ livelihoods. Farmers must adapt their practices to increase their resilience. Short-duration intercrops may be one strategy, generating additional income within a short cultivation time to buffer potential losses in the main crop. We present the findings of the first season of our cotton intercropping trial.
