1.which country has best irrigation system?
Pakistan is a country which has the largest irrigation system in the world.

1.1.why crop production rate is less in Pakistan while it has large

irrigation system?
Agriculture is considered the backbone of Pakistan's economy, which relies heavily
on its major crops. There are vast gaps between the acquired and actual output of
produce, which suffers due to a lack of appropriate technology, use of inputs at
improper times, unavailability of water and land use and inadequate education
about insect pest control, which not only negatively affects the produce but also
significantly reduces the amount of produce. Farmers mainly use synthetic
chemicals for the control of insect pests, but these are used unwisely.

2.which country has best crop production rate?

China is a country which is the largest producer of the crop in the world.

2.1.how china has a best crop production rate?

China used latest technologies and equipments and also by making reforms in the
agriculture field and by the hardwork of the farmers they have good crop
production rate. And , farming in China has always been very labor-intensive.
However, throughout its history, various methods have been developed or
imported that enabled greater farming production and efficiency. They also
utilized the seed drill to help improve on row farming. During the Spring and
Autumn period (722–481 BC), two revolutionary improvements in farming
technology took place. One was the use of cast iron tools and beasts of burden to
pull plows, and the other was the large-scale harnessing of rivers and
development of water conservation projectsThe most recent innovation in
Chinese agriculture is a push into organic agriculture . This rapid embrace of
organic farming simultaneously serves multiple purposes, including food safety,
health benefits, export opportunities
