Q17 of 17 Page 139

Venkatesh observed the irrigation method for paddy field. He wanted to follow the same practice for his Maize crop. What suggestions do you give him?

Paddy crops require a huge amount of water so the method of irrigation is different for paddy crops. But maize crop requires less amount of water so irrigation method for maize is different otherwise maize may die if we follow the method of irrigation of paddy. We should provide favourable conditions suitable for maize crops to get a good yield.
