NB this is not the same as "intercropping", which is growing two or more species in the same field at the same time.

I have my doubts anout "interculture" as used in English.
The Indians use it thus:
Interculture
After cultivation of the crop may be done twice, first at 15 days and the next 25-35 days after sowing. When the plants are about 15 cm in height, thin the crop so as to give a spacing of 15-25 cm between plants.

Other definition - type of intercropping:
intercropping
1. The cultivation of two or more crops simultaneously on the same field, with or without a row arrangement (row intercropping or 'mixed intercropping').
2. The growing of two or more crops on the same field with the planting of the second crop after the first one has already completed development. Also called relay cropping. See also mixed cropping, multiple cropping
interculture
A form of multiple cropping where perennial (usually tree) crops are grown in association with other species to form a multilayered system.

Note also that these nitrogen-fixing crops are referred to as "engrais vert" - green manure in English.

| Grading comment Thanks, your answer got me on the right lines, but this context seems to be referring to a time period rather than the crops themselves.
