Crop Diversification and Intensification
The crop diversi1cation refers to bringing about a desirable change in the existing
cropping patterns towards a more balanced cropping system to reduce the risk
of crop failure; and crop intensi1cation is the increasing cropping intensity and
production to meet the ever increasing demand for food in a given landscape.
Watershed management puts emphasis on crop diversi1cation and intensi1cation
through the use of advanced technologies, especially good variety of seeds,
balanced fertilizer application and by providing supplemental irrigation
