Crop variety improvement: by developing high yielding varieties by cross breeding and hybridisation. ...
Crop production management. ...
Nutrient management.
Answer ➔ Three basic scientific approaches for increasing the yield of a crop are :
1) Crop production management ⇨It includes proper irrigation and nutrient management and fertilizers. Nutrient management can also be done by crop rotating , inter - cropping and mixed - cropping .
2) Crop protection management ⇨ Plants need protection from weeds , insects , pests and pathogens . It can be done through mechanical methods , biological methods, chemical methods or cultural methods.
3) Cropvariety management ⇨
Crop variety can be improved by hybridisation or by transgenic measures. It can be done by obtaining desired plant characteristics.
