Answer 1

Facilities in Chhattisgarh agriculture​

Explanation:

• About half Chhattisgarh’s land is farmland, while most of the rest is either under forest cover or is otherwise unsuitable for cultivation. Roughly three-fourths of the farmland is under cultivation.
• Often called the country’s rice bowl, the central lowland plain supplies grain to many rice mills. Maize and millet dominate the highlands. Cotton and oilseeds are the important crops.
• Agriculture continues to be characterized in many areas by the employment of manual methods of cultivation; farmers within the basin are particularly slow to adopt mechanized agricultural techniques.
• Livestock and poultry farming are also prominent.. There are several centres for improving the standard of those animals, like those for the unreal insemination and crossbreeding of goats in Bilaspur and Dhar.
• With Chhattisgarh’s farmers select to grow  in summer, the experts are concerned on water availability. Rice is typically grown within the monsoon.
• Irrigation needs for paddy in summers are sucking the underground water level dry prompting the administration to ban its cultivation before monsoon.
• To wean away farmers from the lure of high-yielding summer paddy, the regime has been promoting the cultivation of oilseeds and millet (ragi).
• Chhattisgarh, one in all the most important rice producers in India, has ideal weather and soil for growing rice. However, many farmers are sowing the paddy crop during the season (February-May), rather than the same old monsoon season, resulting in a shortage of water as rice may be a water-intensive crop.
• While the paddy crop, a kharif crop grown usually in monsoon, has been able to generate surplus yield within the recent years, farmers’ proclivity to growing paddy as a rabi crop has alerted experts and even the govt due to the impact it can wear the water level.
