Answer:
The different ways of increasing production
are:
(i)
Multiple cropping: Under this method, more than one crop is raised on the same
piece of land during a year. It is the most common way of increasing production

irrigation exists. Generally, a crop like potato is cultivated between two
seasonal crops like rice and wheat.
(ii)
Modern farming methods: Under modern farming methods, high yielding variety of
seeds and chemicals are used.
(a)
High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds are used in place of the traditional seeds to
increase the production.
(b)
Chemical fertilisers are used instead of cow-dung and natural manure.
(c) Insecticides, pesticides, herbicides
and irrigation through tubewells is used in modern farming methods.
