Question

What is the difference between net sown area and grass cropped area?

Answer 1

• Net Area Sown:This represents the total area sown with crops and orchards. Area sown more than once in the same year is counted only once.
• Gross Cropped Area:This represents the total area sown once and/or more than once in a particular year, i.e. the area is counted as many times as there are sowings in a year. This total area is also known as total cropped area or total area sown.
• For example; We have 20 acres for cultivation. So, Net Sown Area will be 20 acres. But we grow three crops a year. So, Gross Cropped Area will be 20*3=60 acres.
