Answer 1

Farmers use quality seeds, adopt irrigation, use fertilizer and use crop protection measures.

Explanation:

1. The use of good-quality seeds increases total crop production. If a farmer uses good-quality seeds, then most of the seeds will germinate properly and grow into healthy plants.
2. Proper irrigation methods improve the water availability to crops.
3. Fertilizers ensure healthy plant growth and development by providing essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.
4. Crop protection measures include various methods to control weeds, pests, and infectious agents. If farmers take all these necessary steps, they will increase their overall crop production.
