what are the difference between multiple cropping and modern farming method
Answers
Answer:
Multiple cropping corresponds to produce more than 1 crop on a piece of land during 1 year. ... But in the modern farming method, HYV ( high yielding variety) seeds are used for farming with lot of irrigation and chemical fertilizers and pesticides which inturn resulted into high yielding of crops.
There is no difference between two as both are interlinked. Modern Farming methods enabled multiple cropping. The question should have been to elaborate the difference between Traditional farming and using Modern Methods of agriculture.
In modern methods Mechanization in agriculture play dominant role followed by Improved innovations in high producing seed as well as use of herbicides & pesticides. contrary to traditional farming modern methods enabled to complete all the operation in shortest times and clean the filed for next crops which led us to multiple cropping. Therefore now against traditional cropping which was maximum one or two crops/annum we may get 4 crops/annum from the same field.
Mechanization in agriculture replaced all tools used manually and taking too much time and making precised planting and harvesting in shortest possible time.
Revolution in seed technology gave us the seed giving double or triple the yield against what we were getting through traditional farming
Multi cut varieties helped in getting rid of planting in every season now you can plant once and can get 6–8 cuts in one year
Similarly chemical use of killing weeds and pests also increased yield/ha
Irrigation methods changed from furrow irrigation to pivot irrigation system economizing water usage and now drone technology has further eased farming operations. Therefore we can say that modern methods of agriculture led us to multiple cropping getting more yield from the same field. In multiple cropping you can different types of crops one after the other depending the need and decision of the farmer
