Question

Paddy and sugarcane are the main crops grown under _______.

• A. Irrigation farming
• B. Subsistence farming
• C. Plantation farming
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Irrigation farming

Irrigation farming

Irrigation essentially means the watering of land to make it ready for agricultural purposes. An irrigation system is the supplying of water via artificial canals and channels to growing plants and crops in a field.

Sugarcane and paddy are water-intensive crops, and hence they need irrigation if adequate rainfall is not available.
