Question

how did agriculture evolve in the period of janapadas and mahajanapadas

Answer 1

Answer:

Around 600 B.C two major changes occurred in the agriculture. One was an increase in the use of iron ploughshare. By using iron ploughshare heavy, clayey soil could be turned over better than with a wooden ploughshare. ... As a result of these two changes, the agriculture flourished in the Mahajanapadas.

Answer 2

The Janapadas were the major kingdoms of Vedic India. With the development of iron in parts of UP and Bihar, the Janapadas became more powerful and turned into Mahajanapadas. There were sixteen such Mahajanapadas during 600 B.C. to 325 B.C. in Indian Sub-continent.
