Question

Explain the major changes that happened in agriculture during the period of Mahajanapadas

Answer 1

During the Mahajanapadas, farmers were involved in agriculture. They had to pay taxes on crops that were just a sixth of what was produced. This was known as Bhaga or sharing. Dasas and dasis, slave men and women, and landless agricultural labourers known as kammakaras did the majority of the work on the farms.

Answer 2

Answer:

There were two major changes in agriculture around this time. One was the growing use of iron plough shares. This meant that heavy, clayey soil could be turned over better than with a wooden plough share, so that more grain could be produced. Second, people began transplanting paddy.
