Enhancing biodiversity lowers the danger of crop-specific pests and illnesses and increases ecosystem resilience. Because various crops may fix nitrogen or contribute organic matter in different ways, intercropping can also increase soil fertility by utilizing a range of plants. Additionally, because different root systems can assist retain moisture and lessen water runoff, this method encourages better water conservation. These elements work together to produce intercropping a sustainable farming method that boosts output while lowering the demand for outside inputs like pesticides.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Reduced pest problems"},{"right":"no","answer":"Improved water conservation"},{"right":"no","answer":"Increased biodiversity and soil fertility"},{"right":"yes","answer":"All of the above"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1762,"title":"Agriculture of the United States","slug":"agriculture-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1761,"title":"Forestry and Fisheries of the United States","slug":"forestry-and-fisheries-of-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11650"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11650"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=11650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
