Question

discuss the effects of delayed and weak monsoons as well as floods for indian agriculture

Answer 1

Large parts of these countries do not have proper irrigation systems like surrounding lakes, rivers or snowmelt areas. Thus, agriculture largely depends on Monsoon rains, filling wells and aquifers for the rest of the year. Kharif crops in India require monsoonal rains for their growth. Cotton, Maize, Paddy, Soybean, Groundnut, Bajra and Sesame are among the major crops that rely on Monsoon rains. Dairy farms in India also depend on Southwest Monsoon to keep cows healthy
