Detailed Solution

The total sown area once or more than once in a particular year is the gross sown area.
In a land where the crops are being sown and harvested more than once a year, the area gets counted according to the number of times the land is sown, which is the gross sown area. If the land gets cultivated twice a year, the area gets counted twice, and it is the gross sown area. The total land area used for cultivation is classified into two - net sown area and gross sown area. A land cultivated once a year, its land under cultivation is a net sown area. The net sown area and gross sown area are the same for land where crops are cultivated once annually. In India, most of the land under cultivation is gross sown area.
