Describe three factors that accounted for the constant expansion of agriculture during sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 


The three factors that accounted for the constant expansion of agriculture during sixteenth and seventeenth centuries:

(i) Abundance of land.

(ii) Availability of labour.

(iii) Mobility of the peasants

Irrigation projects received state support as well. For example, in northern India the state undertook digging of new canals (nahr, nala) and also repaired old ones like the shahnahr in the Punjab during Shah Jahan’s reign.

Though agriculture was labour intensive, peasants did use technologies that often harnessed cattle energy. A drill, pulled by a pair of giant oxen, was used to plant seeds, but broadcasting of seed was the most prevalent method. Hoeing and weeding were done simultaneously using a narrow iron blade with a small wooden handle.
