Question

what are the different ways of increasing agricultural production on the same piece of land

Answer 1

➡️Multiple cropping and the use of modern farming methods are the two common ways of increasing production on the same piece of land.✔️

➡️Multiple cropping involves growing more than one crop on a piece of land during the year.✔️

➡️For example, farmers in the western parts of Uttar Pradesh practise multiple cropping.✔️

➡️During the rainy season (kharif), they grow jowar and bajra.✔️

➡️These plants are used as cattle feed.✔️

➡️It is followed by the cultivation of potato between October and December.✔️

➡️In the winter season (rabi), fields are sown with wheat.✔️

➡️The other way of increasing yield is by adopting modern farming methods.✔️

➡️Modern farming methods involve the use of high-yielding variety seeds, irrigation, and chemical fertilisers and pesticides to produce maximum output from the same piece of land.✔️

➡️The high-yielding varieties of seeds produce much greater amounts of grain on a single plant than the traditional varieties.✔️

➡️As a result, far larger quantities of food grains can be produced from the same piece of land.✔️
