Hi friends, this is Zeeshan Raza and today we are going to discuss different types of farming in India. Friends, In India, improved varieties of different crops have been developed.
For your kind information, improved varieties mean such varieties of crops which are produced in a large quantity and which are more resistant against diseases and pests. Some of the improved crops of India such as wheat, Rice and maize, etc.
Friends, the classification of farming on the basis of land holding, on the basis of production of crops, traditions of farming, and the ratio of animals possessed by the farmer is called types of farming.
On the basis of the availability of resources such as irrigation, fertilizers, machines, etc. farming is divided into the following types.
Friends, when an agriculture farm is organized in such a way that its land is used for the production of different crops or for agriculture-based occupations, and each one becomes the source of income. then this type of farming is called general or normal farming.
Generally, the farmers adopt this type of farming to satisfy their domestic needs, so that they can run their livelihood smoothly. the farmer selects the crop, livestock, business according to his need.
That type of farming is called specific farming, in which a framer obtains 50% of the total income or more, from only one crop. For example, if a farmer obtains 505 or more than 50% income of the total income from the soybean only, we will call it, "Soyabean Farm".
There are some characteristics of specific farming such as the nearby location of 'mandi' or market, the strong financial condition of the farmer, etc. the farming should not be affected much by the unfavorable conditions of weather.
Farming in the areas where the annual rainfall is less than 50 cm is called dry farming. in this system of dry farming, to grow crops, rainwater is preserved for a long time.
Failure of crops is common features of dry farming, The main reasons for this failure are
In mixed farming, animals are also reared along with crop production. Mixed farming is based on the principle that 10 to 49% of the total income should be contained from the rearing of animals.
It means that the production of the crop is the primary work and rearing of cattle is supplementary to it. The complementary relationship between crop production and animal rearing increases, income productivity. The use of organic manure prepared from animal dung adds to the fertility of the soil.
Organic farming is the method of farming in which fertilizers of organic origin as compost manure green manure (produced by vegetation herb etc.) and manure made of cow dunk is used instead of synthetic chemicals and pesticides.
Organic manures increase the fertility of the soil. Input cost is also very low and it has no adverse effects on human health as well as our environment.
