6. Irrigation Farming Irrigation farming is when crops are grown with the help of irrigation systems by supplying water to land through rivers, reservoirs, tanks, and wells. Over the last century, the population of India has tripled. The increase in agricultural production in India is mostly due to irrigation; close to three-fifths of India's grain harvest comes from irrigated land.

7. Shifting Cultivation • Land is obtained by cleaning forest and agriculture is practiced till the fertility of the farm is exhausted. • After this another farm is cleared and agriculture is practiced on it. • Usually, plant, tuber crops like yam, tapioca and root crops are raised. • It is practiced mainly by tribal living in forest.

8. Commercial Agriculture • Commercial Agriculture is practiced to raise crops on a large scale with a view to export them to other countries and earn money. • Commercial agriculture is done mostly in sparsely populated areas. • Purpose of commercial agriculture is to sell the produce for money. • Wheat, cotton, sugarcane, corn etc. are some of the commercial crops.

9. Plantation farming • Bush or tree farming is done on huge areas. • It is capital-centered and needs good managerial ability, technical knowledge, improved machineries, fertilizers, irrigation and transport facilities. • A particular or single sown crop like rubber, tea, coconut, coffee, cocoa, spices and fruit crops etc. is sown. • Plantation agriculture requires a long growing period.

10. Crop rotation • Crop rotation can be classified as a type of subsistence farming if there is an individual or communal farmer doing the labor and if the yield is solely for their own consumption • The general purposes of rotations are: • To improve or maintain soil fertility, reduce erosion, reduce the build-up of pests. • To spread the workload, reduce risk of weather damage. • To reduce reliance on agricultural chemicals, and increase net profits.
