What to Focus On

  • Intensive farming gives high output per unit area.
  • Subsistence agriculture is common in India.
  • About 70% of the population depends on agriculture.
  • Only about one third of cropped area is irrigated.
  • Rice is the most important food crop of India.
  • Rice is a kharif crop and needs hot, humid weather.
  • Wheat is the second most important food crop and is a rabi crop.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rice and wheat are both Kharif crops because both are staple foods.
