Question

Why Paddy is grown in the Ganga-Brahmaputra plains.

Answer 1

                            ✨Answer.✨

Paddy is grown in the Ganga-Brahmaputra Plains because of the  following:

• Deep loamy soil is found in these plains due to the deposition of silt by the rivers for  thousands of years.

• Rivers in floods spread a new layer of alluvial every year. Hence it does not require  manuring.

• Canals from rivers supply ample water for irrigation of paddy fields during the dry  season.

• The lower portion of the plains receives adequate rainfall.

• Cheap labour is available from the densely populated plains.

• Means of transportation are developed to raise the movement of paddy and rice to  the nearby markets.

• New technologies are being adopted by the farmers because they can afford it due  – to their sound financial position.
