This is similar to, and may be synonymous with, succession planting. I changed the original definition here, which stated that multiple cropping specifically refers to successive plantings, not not simultaneous. It seems, from looking online for definitions, that "multiple cropping" is a looser term, simply referring to growing more than one crop in the same place during the same season. That fits with the understanding I've had, though I haven't seen the term used much. "Succession planting" is widely used. It usually appears in literature for home/small-scale farm vegetable production. Tsavage 18:15, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)
