Detailed explanation-1: -Proper Irrigation Farmers who aim to increase an average crop yield per acre on their fields must have a streamlined irrigation system at hand. Providing the plants with the appropriate amount of water directly affects the development of plants and, consequently, the crop yields.
Detailed explanation-2: -It’s a very cost-effective system. Farmers plant chickpea directly into the soil after the rice has been harvested, without ploughing it first. Not only does this save time, it also conserves soil moisture and improves fertility (as the legume fixes nitrogen).
Detailed explanation-3: -The three methods to increase the yield of crops are: Using high yielding variety seeds. Use of modern irrigation methods so as to obtain more amount of water. Crop rotation so as to increase the fertility of the soil.
