Punjab and Haryana are the two states having more than 80% of the net sown area owing to different reasons. The fertile alluvial soil in these regions contributes to the Himalayan rivers flowing through the area. The fine-grain alluvium is very fertile, resulting in higher production rates. The perennial rivers provide ample water supply for agriculture. In the regions with lesser rainfall, canals are used for irrigation. The states like Punjab and Haryana have adopted modern farming techniques and use modern tools for agriculture. It saves time and enables cultivation more than once a year. All these contribute to the high percentage of net sown area.
