Question

If there is low rainfall in a village throughout the year, what measures will you suggest to the farmers for better cropping?

Answer 1

Suggestions for farmers:

1. Irrigation aids in overcoming the problem of low rainfall and increases output by preserving soil-water balance.
2. Irrigation uses both surface water and groundwater resources.
3. Water is supplied to crop areas using a variety of irrigation systems.
4. Wells, tanks, canals, rivers, sprinkler systems, and drip irrigation systems are examples. The kind of soil also has a role in determining watering requirements.
5. Farmers should plant drought-resistant and early maturing crop kinds.
6. A large amount of humus and organic manure should be put in to enrich the soil and boost its water holding capacity.
