उत्तर
Paddy is grown in the Ganga-Brahmaputra Plains because of the following:
- Deep loamy soil is found in these plains due to the deposition of silt by the rivers for thousands of years.
- Rivers in floods spread a new layer of alluvial every year. Hence it does not require manuring.
- Canals from rivers supply ample water for irrigation of paddy fields during the dry season.
- The lower portion of the plains receives adequate rainfall.
- Cheap labour is available from the densely populated plains.
- Means of transportation are developed to raise the movement of paddy and rice to the nearby markets.
- New technologies are being adopted by the farmers because they can afford it due – to their sound financial position.
