Answer:
\nThe graph shows that the land under cultivation in India was 120 million hectares in 1950 which rose to 140 million hectares in 1970 and remained constant at this figure (140 million hectares) till 2010.
\n(i) Yes, it is important to increase the area under irrigation because it will help farmers do multiple cropping and grow more than one crop in a year. Also, the use of HYV seeds need plenty of water to

Question 1.
\n(i) What is the difference between multiple cropping and modern farming method?
\n(ii) The following table shows the production of wheat and pulses in India after the Green revolution in units of million tonnes. Plot this on a graph. Was the Green revolution equally successful for both crops? Discuss.
\n(iii) What is the working capital required by the farmer using modern farming methods?

\n(iv) Modern farming methods require the farmer to start with more cash than before. Why?
\nAnswer:
\n(i) To grow more than one crop on a piece of land during the year is known as multiple cropping. It is the most common way of increasing production on a given piece of land. The other way of increasing production from the same land is to use modern farming methods. In this method, yield is measured as a crop produced on a given piece of land during a single season. Farmers of Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh used the modern farming method for the first time. The farmers in these regions set up tubewells for irrigation and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides in farming. They also used tractors and threshers to make ploughing and harvesting faster.<\/p>\n

(ii) The Table shows that between 1965 and 2013, the production of pulses has increased negligibly whereas the production of wheat increased greatly. On this basis, we can say that the Green revolution was not equally successful for both crops.<\/p>\n

(iii) The working capital required by the farmer using modern farming methods includes money, HYV seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and water.<\/p>\n

(iv) Modern farming methods require HYV seeds which are more expensive than those of traditional seeds. HYV seeds need plenty of water and also chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce the best results. For buying all these inputs, a lot of money is required. So, farmers require more cash for carrying out modern farming methods.<\/p>\n
