[amp_mcq option1=”110 percent” option2=”135 percent” option3=”160 percent” option4=”185 percent” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (b) 135 percent.<\/p>\n
Cropping intensity is the ratio of the area harvested to the total area sown in a year. It is a measure of how efficiently land is being used for crop production. A higher cropping intensity indicates that more crops are being grown on the same land, which can lead to increased food production.<\/p>\n
India has a high cropping intensity, which is due to a number of factors, including the use of irrigation, multiple cropping, and high-yielding varieties of crops. Irrigation allows farmers to grow crops during the dry season, multiple cropping allows farmers to grow two or more crops in the same field in a year, and high-yielding varieties of crops produce more grain per unit area.<\/p>\n
The high cropping intensity in India has helped to increase food production and improve the livelihoods of farmers. However, it has also led to some environmental problems, such as soil degradation and water pollution.<\/p>\n
(a) 110 percent is incorrect because it is below the average cropping intensity of India.
\n(c) 160 percent is incorrect because it is above the average cropping intensity of India.
\n(d) 185 percent is incorrect because it is much higher than the average cropping intensity of India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
