Question

Write the missing corelated terms.

River lift system : __________: : Cropping Pattern : Mixed cropping.

Answer 1

Irrigation:

1. Irrigation is the artificial implementation of water into crops to meet their water needs.
2. Irrigation is another way to supply minerals and water to crops. Wells, ponds, lakes, canals, tube wells, and even dams are among the different water sources for irrigation. Irrigation provides moisture for growth, development, germination, and other purposes.

River lift system:

1. Water is collected straight from rivers to enhance irrigation projects in a river lift system.
2. River lift systems use pumps and direct fetching rather than relying on the natural flow of water from rivers through canals.

Cropping pattern:

1. A cropping pattern refers to the proportion of land under the cultivation of different crops at different points of time.
2. This indicates the time and arrangement of crops in a particular land area.
3. Any change in the cropping pattern would cause:

1. change in the proportion of land under different crops
2. change in space sequence and time of crops

Mixed cropping:

1. When two or more crops are grown on the same land simultaneously, it is known as mixed cropping.
2. For example, growing wheat and gram on the same land simultaneously is mixed cropping.
3. This practice minimizes the risk of failure of one of the crops and ensures against crop failure due to abnormal weather conditions.

Final answer: River lift system : Irrigation : : Cropping Pattern : Mixed cropping.
