Detailed explanation-1: -subsistence farming, form of farming in which nearly all of the crops or livestock raised are used to maintain the farmer and the farmer’s family, leaving little, if any, surplus for sale or trade. Preindustrial agricultural peoples throughout the world have traditionally practiced subsistence farming.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rain was the chief source of water for irrigating fields, but that too was irregular and unreliable. Canal water was available but it was also not sufficient. A farmer had his turn once in about 15 days and the water supply was for 10 to 16 hours, depending upon the size of his land.
Detailed explanation-3: -FERTILIZER-Efficient irrigation reduces the amount of fertilizer needed per plant, as nutrients can be dissolved in the irrigation water for uniform application, reduced waste and lower labor input.
