Question

What are the different ways of increasing production on the same piece of land? Use examples to explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

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.

The farmers in these regions set up tube wells for irrigation and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides in farming.

Some also used farm machinery like tractors and threshers, which made plugging and harvesting faster. They were rewarded with high yields of wheat, increasing from 1300 kg per hectare to 3200 kg per hectare with HYV seeds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

hello friend:)

These days the demand for food and other goods is increasing but the production is very low because of the less land available and the shift of people from agriculture sector to other service and industrial sectors.

It is very important that the farmers increase the crop production in the same piece of land

This can be done by the following methods

1. Mixed cropping

This helps the farmer because if one crop fails he can then be benefited with the other crop and this even increases the production in the same land

• By using biological means

This can be a very good step by the cultivator. The farmers can opt for the bio pesticides, bio fertilisers (manures) so that the land doesn't get polluted with the chemicals by the chemical fertilisers and can be used for many years.

(Chemical fertilisers will definitely give a good yeild at the beginning, but the excess of them would lead to the pollution of the agricultural land and will lead the farmer to abandon the land as it will no more be fit for agricultural use)

• By regulating the use of fertilisers or pesticides used.

Hope it helps
