This document discusses improving crop yields through better farming techniques. It explains that crops require specific climates and growing seasons. Common kharif crops like rice are grown between June to August, while rabi crops like wheat are grown from November to May. The document also states that yields can be increased by using modern farming methods like pesticides and insecticides, as well as higher quality hybrid seeds that are more resistant to diseases and pests and have shorter growing periods. Examples of hybrid seeds that provide higher yields include T 141 rice and Sonara 64 wheat.

2. Introduction
•Food is required by every
living being to survive as this
food provides them with their
daily requirements.
•It’s also essential for the
proper growth in their bodies.

3. Better CropYields
• We all know that some crops are cultivated
according to different seasons and some all
year around.
• One may think what a CROP is ?
• It is the growing of same variety on crop at
same place and same time on a large scale.
• Different crops require different climatic
conditions, soil types, period of exposure to
sun light ,etc.

4. Kharif Crop (June-Aug)
:-
Eg. Rice
Rabi Crops (Nov-May)
:-
Eg. Wheat

5. •Some of the crops are season
specific i.e., thy are grown in
particular season.
•Cultivation of crops is carried out
by various activities done by the
farmers.
•The yield of crops can be improved
by adopting some modern
techniques of farming.

6. •In order to increase the yield
every year various methods
such as protection of crops by
insecticides and pesticides is
used
•Mainly better quality of seeds
are also used.

7. Using Better Variety Of Seeds
• In recent times, better crops are grown by hybrid
seeds i.e., by hybridization.
• It is the cross-breeding of two different crops where
each one has a desires characteristic that is desired.
• Most crops are developed with high yields, better
quality, better resistance to diseases and pests, short
period of growing etc.This is known as HighYielding
Varieties (HYV).
• The greatest advantage of HYV is the higher yield.

8. Eg for hybrids are :-
T 141 (Rice) Sonara 64 (Wheat)
