Question

Difference netween multiple croping and modern farming method

Answer 1

There is no differencebetween two as both are interlinked. Modern Farming methods enabled multiple cropping. The question should have been to elaborate the difference between Traditional farming and using Modern Methods of agriculture.In modern methods Mechanization in agriculture play dominant role followed by Improvedinnovations in high producing seed as well as use of herbicides & pesticides. contrary to traditional farming modern methods enabled to complete all the operation in shortest times and clean the filed for next crops which led us to multiple cropping. Therefore now against traditional cropping which was maximum one or two crops/annum we mayget 4 crops/annum from the same field.Mechanization in agriculture replaced all tools used manually and taking too much time and making precised planting and harvesting in shortestpossible time.Revolution in seed technology gave us the seed giving double or triple the yield against what wewere getting through traditional farmingMulti cut varieties helped in getting rid of planting in every season now you can plant once and can get 6–8 cuts in one yearSimilarly chemical use of killing weeds and pests also increased yield/haIrrigation methods changed from furrow irrigation to pivot irrigation system economizing water usage and now drone technology has further eased farmingoperations. Thereforewe can say that modern methods of agriculture led us to multiple cropping getting more yield from the same field. In multiple cropping you can different types of crops one after the other depending the need and decision of the farmer
