Question

Mention any two reasons for the low percentage of area sown more than once in India.

Answer 1

• Lack of Irrigation Facilities: In many regions, farmers depend on rainfall. Without an assured water supply, it is difficult to grow more than one crop in a year.
• Soil Fertility Decline: Continuous cultivation without proper replenishment of nutrients leads to soil exhaustion, making it unfit for multiple cropping in a year.
