प्रश्न
Describe any three features of commercial farming.
उत्तर
- Use of High Yielding Variety (HYV) Seeds - Commercial farming extensively employs HYV seeds that are genetically engineered to enhance crop yields. These seeds are developed to produce more per acre, resist pests and diseases better, and adapt to various environmental conditions, thereby significantly increasing agricultural output.
- High Usage of Chemical Fertilizers - To ensure that the high-yielding crops receive adequate nutrients for growth, commercial farming relies heavily on chemical fertilizers. These fertilizers are applied in larger quantities to replenish soil nutrients swiftly and support the high rate of crop production characteristic of commercial operations.
- Widespread Application of Insecticides and Pesticides -Protecting the extensive crop areas from pests and diseases is crucial for maintaining the high productivity levels in commercial farming. Therefore, there is a significant use of various insecticides and pesticides. These chemicals help in safeguarding the crops from potential damage, ensuring that the majority of the produce reaches the market.

| Commercial Farming: The main characteristic of this type of farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity. The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop. |
