Multiple cropping is the most common way of increasing production on a given piece of land. When more than one crop in grown on a piece of land during the year, it is known as multiple cropping system. All the farmers in Palampur grow at least two main crops and grow potatoes as their third crop.
Answer:
1. The main sources for irrigation water are groundwater from wells, surface water, drainage ponds, rain and municipal water. Drilled wells are a clean source of water for many greenhouse operations however, the water yield from drilled wells is usually limited.
2. Modern farming methods require the farmer to start with more cash than before because they have to hire tractors, threshers and to purchase HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides which are expensive.
3. The working capital required by the farmer using modern farming methods are raw material and money. Money is always required during production to make payments and buy other necessary items.
4. Multiple cropping or multi-cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same piece of land during one growing season instead of just one crop. When multiple crops are grown simultaneously, this is also known as intercropping.
5. The spread of electricity supported the Palampur farmers as it helped to change the village's irrigation system. Persian wheels were historically used by farmers to draw water from wells and irrigate small fields.
6. There are several physical factors contributing to soil degradation distinguished by the manners in which they change the natural composition and structure of the soil. Rainfall, surface runoff, floods, wind erosion, tillage, and mass movements result in the loss of fertile top spoil thereby declining soil quality.
