Answer 2

Answer:

The required answer is an option (a) All farmers in Palampur grow at least two main crops and (c) farmers in Palampur grow jawar and bajra as cattle feed.​

Explanation:

The farmers in Palampur can cultivate more of the following crops on the same land:

• They use different cropping patterns. At least two major crops are grown there. As a third crop, a lot of them also raise vegetables.

• The farmers in Palampur can grow three different crops in a year thanks to a sophisticated irrigation system.

• Palampur received electricity early on. It was crucial in changing the irrigation system in the village of Palampur. Soon, electric-powered tubewells that could irrigate far wider expanses of the land took the place of the old and inefficient Persian wheels.

• HYV seeds were introduced by modern farming techniques and the Green Revolution.

• In Palampur, the effective application of HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, and contemporary agricultural methods led to an improvement in agricultural yield from the same land.

• Jowar and bajra are grown by farmers during the rainy season (Kharif). Cattle are fed on these plants. The growing of potatoes then takes place between October and December.
