Question

Despite favourable climatic conditions, a farmer's crop failed to give good yield. Give the possible reasons for this.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:1)Harmful chemicals-Some chemicals

may be very acidic in nature that may

not only kill insects but destroy the crops too.These days farmers apply

Some ćhemicals on plants that kill insects.

2)Lack of knowledge of New techniques-In foreign countries farmers are trained worth new techniques of farming.We must educate our farmers. too so that they

also benefit from the new technology

3)Rats-Sometimes there are other factors like attack of ratys that destroy crops completely.

4)Negligence-No body is a machine that can keep a 24 hour check on crops but sometimes the farmers

may also be a bit negligent and this badly affects the crop.The crops need regular attention like a small child.

Despite favorable conditions, a farmer’s crop can fail to give good yield due to any or some of the following reasons:

(i) The soil was not ploughed properly. – Improper ploughing restricts the penetration of the roots of the crop plants deep into the soil. The consequences could be failure of plant before maturation.

(ii) Improper sowing of seeds – Sometimes the seeds are not covered after sowing is over. This makes the seeds prone to attack by rodents and birds. If a significant amount of seeds are damaged in this manner, it has a direct negative impact on the crop yield.

(ii) Flaws in irrigation – Sometimes despite favorable climate, under- or over-irrigation also leads to crop failure. In under-irrigation, the field remains comparatively dry and the crops wilt. In over-irrigtaion, the field becomes water-logged resulting in crop failure.

(iii) Competition from weeds – If weeds are not removed properly, they compete with the crop plants for nutrition and water. Hence a reduction in the crop yield is observed.

(iv) Loss in harvesting – If harvesting is not done properly, a significant amount of grain seeds are lost along with the chaff. This results in a lower yield.
