Answer:
8) Multiple cropping and use of modern farming methods are two different ways of increasing production on the same piece of land. e.g.,
(i) Multiple Cropping When more than one crop is grown on a piece of land during the year it is known as multiple cropping. It is the most common way to increase 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.
(ii) 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 modern farming methods in India.
9) A farmers in these regions set up tube wells for irrigation and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides in farming.
(i) A farmer having 1 hectare of land for farming is called a subsistence farmer because 1 hectare of land is too less for even the sustenance of a small family.
(ii) Production is very low and it is very difficult for the farmer to provide for his family.
(iii) Apart from working on his own field he has to work on the field of the rich farmers or work as a casual labourer to survive.
(iv) The small farmer has no irrigation facilities.
(v) He has no working capital so he is also not able to buy modern machinery, HYV seeds or insecticides and pesticides.
