Oats appear to have been domesticated as a secondary crop, as their seeds resembled those of other cereals closely enough for them to be included by early cultivators.
Polyculture systems, such as intercropping or companion planting, offer more diversity and complexity within the same season or rotation. An example is the Three Sisters, the inter-planting of corn with pole beans and vining squash or pumpkins. In this system, the beans provide nitrogen; the corn provides support for the beans and a "screen ...

Aerial seeding has a low yield and require 25% to 50% more seeds than drilled seeding to achieve the same results. [4] Aerial seeding is also often used to plant cover crops. Some plants often seeded by this method are perennial rye (Timothy, Red ...
