Question

Explain any one method of crop production that ensures a high yield.

Answer 1

1. There are various methods of crop production from which a high yield can be obtained.
2. These methods include hybridization, crop rotation, and intercropping.
3. Other than getting a high yield, these methods help to achieve crops with early maturation, better seed quality, and less water for irrigation.

Examples of a crop production system that provides a high yield are:

1. Hybridization:

• Crops with desired features are selected from various places and then cross-bred.
• It is possible to obtain a crop with the required attribute.
• A gene that provides the desired feature could also be introduced. As a result, genetically engineered crops are produced.

1. Crop rotation:

• It is the process of cultivating two or more crops in succession on the same piece of land.
• This procedure provides consistency in the soil profile throughout the field and aids in soil nutrient restoration.

1. Intercropping:

• It is the practice of cultivating two or more varieties of crops with varying nutritional requirements in a predetermined arrangement on the same piece of land.
