1 Irrigation and Farming in India Static GK Notes PDF 7 Irrigation is the artificial supply of water to soil for the purposes of farming. This is an often touched upon topic in the chapter of Geography. Facts about Irrigation and Farming in India are easy to learn and remember. India has the highest area of irrigated land in the world and Uttar Pradesh has the largest irrigated agricultural land in the country. So let us learn more about Irrigation and Farming in India in these Static GK Notes. Also download Irrigation and Farming in India as PDF for revision. Farming Farming employs the largest section of Indian labour. Some of the different types of farming in India are described below. INTENSIVE FARMING (Industrial Agriculture) Higher per unit capital & labour input. Maximum yield per unit land. More use of pesticides, fertilizers, technology, mechanisation. Seen in highly populated/developed areas. EXTENSIVE FARMING Lower per unit capital & labour input. Lower yield per unit land.
2 Less use of pesticides, fertilizers, technology, mechanisation. More use of cattle. Seen in less populated/under developed or semi-developed areas. PLANTATION Growing of single cash crop purely for selling purpose. Capital, technical, factory etc. needed. E.g. rubber, coffee, tea etc. SHIFTING/ JHUM Land cleared by slashing and burning Land abandoned after some years when fertility reduces. Farming shifted to another piece of land. Known as Jhum in Assam, Ponam in Kerala, Podu in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, Beera in MP. Crops grown include Sugarcane, wheat, maize etc. TERRACE FARMING Mostly practised in hilly areas. Terrace is curved out from the slope to conserve the water. Mainly seen in North Eastern states of India. MIXED FARMING (Diversified Farming) In this type, livestock are reared in combined with crop production. LEY FARMING (Alternate Husbandry) The field is alternated between being seeded for grain/cash crops and then left fallow. During fallow period, grasses are grown on the land.
3 Removes the need for artificial fertilizers and pesticides. CO-OPERATIVE FARMING Resources of several farmers pooled together. Risk and profit sharing. Specialized Branches of Agriculture & Animal Husbandry Horticulture Scientific Cultivation of Plants. Apiculture Rearing of Bees. Pisciculture Breeding, Hatching and Rearing of Fish. Floriculture Cultivation of Flowers. Sericulture Production of Silk. Vermiculture Composting using Earthworms and Other Worms. Viticulture Grapes Production Moriculture Mulberry Plant Cultivation. Revolutions in Farming Revolution Related to Trivia Green Grains and Cereals mainly Wheat Father of Green Revolution: Normal Borlaug Blue Fisheries Brown Leather

Father of White Revolution: Dr. Verghese Kurien Golden Fruits/ Honey/ Overall Horticulture Golden Fibre Jute Silver Fibre Cotton Grey Fertilizer Round Potato Red Meat/ Tomato Yellow Oil seed Irrigation Irrigation is the process of providing water to land through artificial means for the purpose of agriculture. Primary Uses of Irrigation in India 1. Provide moisture to the soil. 2. Help plant/crop to grow. 3. Dilute salts present in the soil. 4. Prevention of soil consolidation (decrease in water content). 5. Suppressing weed growth in grain fields. 6. Dust suppression.
5 Types of Irrigation Depending on the topography, soil nature, rainfall different types of sources of water for irrigation are used. Tanks Wells and Tube wells Canals Desalinised/treated waste water Water from multipurpose river projects Multipurpose River-Valley s in India Here are the major advantages of multi-purpose river-valley projects: Flood control Hydro electricity generation Fishery Soil Conservation Afforestation Irrigation Navigation Tourism
