- The risk of total crop failure due to uncertain monsoon is reduced.
- Chances of pest infestation are greatly reduced.
- Fertility of the soil is improved by growing two crops simultaneously.
- It makes better use of the natural resources of sunlight, land and water.
- Soil erosion is effectively arrested.
- The produce of each crop can be marketed and consumed separately.
