Answer 2

Answer:

•   Multiple cropping and use of modern farming methods are two different ways of increasing production on the same piece of land.

• Multiple Cropping: To grow more than one crop on a piece of land during the year is known as multiple cropping It is the most common way of increasing production on a given piece of land. All farmers in Palampur grow at least two main crops; many are growing potato as the third crop in the past fifteen to twenty years.

• Use of Modern Farming Methods: Modern farming methods also help to increase the yield per hectare. Farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh were the first to try out the modern farming method in India.

• The farmers in these regions setup tube wells for irrigation, and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides in farming.

• Some of them bought farm machinery like tractors and threshers, which made ploughing and harvesting faster. They were rewarded with high yields of wheat. The yield of wheat increased from1300 kg per hectare to 3200 kg per hectare.
