SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 43

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. intensive cultivation.

• The use of more labour and capital inputs on a given land under cultivation is referred to as intensive cultivation.
• This method focuses on maximizing output from a small area of land by increasing the inputs like labour, capital, and sometimes technology.
• It contrasts with extensive cultivation, where larger areas of land are used with fewer inputs.
• Intensive cultivation is often practiced in areas where land is scarce, and it is aimed at increasing productivity per unit of land.
• It is commonly seen in regions with a dense population and high demand for agricultural products.
