2. Development of agriculture
 Development of Agriculture refers to efforts made to
increase farm production in order to meet the
growing demand of increasing population.
 Agriculture has developed at different places in
different parts of the world. Developing countries
with large populations usually practice intensive
agriculture.
 Agricultural Development can be achieved by
improving irrigation facilities, use of fertilizers and
high yielding variety of seeds.
 Mechanization of agriculture is also crucial for
agricultural development.

4. Major Crops grown in India and USA

both India and USA are Sugarcane
and Soybeans.
Sugarcane is mainly used to make

temperature of 20-27 degree Celsius.
 Sugarcane requires a good amount of water for
growing, therefore it is grown in regions having
average rainfall of 150 cm.
 Sugarcane can grow on both Clayey Loam and
Sandy Loam soil but best at well drained soils.
 Most of the farmers generally use fertilizer named
‘Azospirillum’ on sugarcane for efficient growth.

9. Soybean

procession and just 25% is used as food.

12. Requirements of Soybean cultivation
Soybean requires 15-32 degree Celsius
temperature for growth.
It requires 60-75 cm annual rainfall to grow
efficiently.
It requires Sandy Loam soil mixed with good
amount of organic matter for good growth.
Soybean requires less amount of fertilizers as
compared to other crops.
