Question

Give reasons for high proportion of net sown area in Punjab and Haryana and low proportion of net sown area in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Net sown area in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Manipur is low mainly due to the hilly and rocky terrain. They are also largely covered by dense forests, which will need to be cut to develop agriculture. Andaman and Nicobar Islands are covered by dense tropical forests and so net sown area is low.
