Answer:
Capital cities of 'mahajanapadas' were mostly fortified by building huge walls of wood, brick or stone around them. There were various reasons for building forts. They were probably built because people were afraid of attacks from other kings and needed protection.
Crops grown by them are rice , wheat , barley, pulses, sugar cane, sesame and mustard.
Two major changes happened in agriculture:
Use of iron ploughshare: Use of iron ploughshare helped in increasing the area under cultivation. This helped in improving the crop yield.
Plantation of paddy saplings: Plantation of paddy saplings gives better results than scattering the seeds. But plantation of paddy sapling requires lot of human labor. Dasas, dasis and landless labourers were employed for this purpose. The landless labourer was called the kammakara.
