The causes of monsoon paddy agriculture (what is monsoon paddy agriculture)
1. Why does monsoon paddy field agriculture require a large amount of water conservancy projects.
2. Reasons for the large amount of water conservancy projects in monsoon paddy fields.
3. Unfavorable factors affecting monsoon paddy field agriculture.
4. Problems with monsoon paddy field agriculture.
1. Monsoon paddy field agriculture is a unique type of agriculture in humid tropical and subtropical regions.
2. It is mainly distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asian monsoon areas and Southeast Asian tropical rainforest areas.
3. Irrigation is the basis of rice production.
4. Frequent floods and droughts in monsoon areas pose a great threat to rice production.
5. Small farmers are unable to build water conservancy projects, so the government needs to invest heavily and organize the construction of water conservancy projects.
6. Therefore, the amount of agricultural water conservancy projects in monsoon paddy fields is large.
7. In addition to the large amount of water conservancy projects, monsoon paddy field agriculture also has the following characteristics: (1) Small farmer operation: Rice production in monsoon paddy field areas is based on family units.
8. Due to the small amount of cultivated land per capita, each household cultivates very little land.
9. (2) High yield per unit area: Farmers cultivate intensively in the fields, resulting in higher yield per unit area of rice.
10. However, due to the small scale of production, the total rice output of each household is not large.
11. (3) Low commodity rate: Restricted by traditional concepts and economic level, farmers keep a considerable part of the harvested rice for their own use, and the rice sent to the market for sale is very limited.
12. (4) Low level of mechanization and science and technology: Farmers are generally engaged in manual labor.
13. Although the use of electricity for irrigation and threshing has developed rapidly in the past one or two decades.
14. But overall, the level of mechanization and technology is still relatively low.
