Why in India we need to increase production efficiency of crops?

in india we need to increase the production efficiency of crops because of the following reasons 1)the increasing population 2)the area of the cultivated land cannot be spread,as the land is limited What are green and white revolutions? green revoluition was meant to increase the production of wheat white revolution was to increase the production of milk What should we take care of when we increase food production? when we increase food production we should take care that the soil does not get polluted by the use of extra fertilizers and does not loose its fertility. The crops should be protected from pest and weeds Will increasing food production lead to food for everyone? increasing food production wold not lead to fod for everyone as those who dont have money to buy the food grains would not be able to buy the grains even if the production is less or more.it does not matter to them as both ways they wont get food What is kharif season, which crops are grown here kharif crop is the crop grown in the rainy seasons,june-october example-jowar,bajra What are the acitivities done to increase crop production activities done to increase crop production aremanures and fertilizers are added to the soil so that the crop gets nutrients from the soil What is hybridization? What are its different types and when they are used? it is a process in which a crop having a desired characteristic is cross bred with the other crop having another desired characteristic in order to obtain a plant with both the desired characteristic. the different typesinter genera-cross breeding between different genera inter-specific-cross breeding between different species inter-varietal-cross breeding between different varieties What is genetically modified crop? the crop in which a gene of another plant having a desired characteristic is injected is called the genetically modified crop

Why crop varities which can be grown in all climatic conditions more useful? crop varieties which can be grown in all climatic conditions are useful as even if the climatic conditions change unexpectedly,the crop will be able to survive and thus the farmer would not have a loss What is biotic and abiotic resistance biotic and abiotic resistance is an objective of crop varietal improvement in which the criop is neither affected by the biotic factors like insects,weed etc nor the abiotic factors like inappropriate moisture,change in climatic condition

What are the benefits of using manure in soil the benefits of using manure are1)it provides all types of nutrients to the plant 2)it does not cause severe soil pollution 3)its excess does not harm the organisms living in the soil Explain compost, vermi compost and green manure 1)compost-it is a type of manure in which a pit 5-6 feet high is dug, is filled with animal and plant waste and then is covered with moist soil for 3-4 months. microorganism act on t he waste and convert them from complex substances into similar ones. 2)vermicompost-in this method earth worms are used to decompose the plant and animal waste 3)green manure-in this type of manure,plants which can provide the other lant some nutrients are sown and are the ploughed ate an early age.they are then mixed with the soil.when the next plant is grownon the same field the plants provide it with nutrients. Why is manure use better than fertilizer use? manures are better than fertilizers because1)it provides all types of nutrients to the plant 2)it does not cause severe soil pollution 3)its excess does not harm the organisms living in the soil

What is organic farming it is a type of farming in which there is minimal or no use of chemicals in the form of fertilizers,pesticides,herbicidesetc. There is a maximum use of organic substances with the help of bio agents in the form of bio- fertilizer and bio pesticides. What are different ways of irrigation? the different ways of irrigation are1)using tubewell 2)using canals 3)taking water from rivers,lakes etc Explain different cropping methods? 1()multiple cropping- it is also known as mixed cropping, in this type of cropping the seed of two or more crops are mixed and then sown on the same piece opf land. It reduces the risk of failure and insures against the failure of one crop.the crops will be harvested at the same time.it will get the same amount and type of pesticide 2()intercropping-in this method two or more croips are simultaneously grown on the same piece of land simultaneously.the crops can be harvested at different times.pesticides etc can be added by seeing the need of the plants.it prevents the spreading of disease and pests from one row of the crop to the other row. 3)crop rotation-in this type two crops are alternatively (year after year) sowed on the same field.the crops are neither harvested at the same time.it is not necessary that they are provided with the same tyope of pesticides.it is a good way of controlling pests as some pests are crop specific and leave the field as soon as another crop is grown.

We spreay insecticides in home to kill insects, why they should be spreyed on crops? What care should be taken to sprey these on plants? they should also be sprayed on plants as insects also damage the crops,some bore ionto its stem,some suck the sap and by other methods also.w Why is storage also important? storage is important because at the time of draught the stroed crops can help Why jersey cows are favoured by farmers? jersey cows are favoured by farmers as it is and exotic breed and its lactation period is much more than that of the indigenous breeds.which means that the production of milk would be more and the income would also be more What are food requirements of dairy animals food requirements of dairy animals are maintaince requirement-the food required for the animal to live a healthy life milf producing requirement-the food required during the lactation period of the animal Why a combination of fishes used in a pond? a combination of fishes are used ion a pond in such a way that they breed and feed at different depths of the pond,these fishes have different food habits.thus they do not comp[ete with each other for food and do not harm each other
