{'friendly agriculture': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'crop diversification': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'vertical farming': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'legume intensification': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'eco': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'tensiometer use': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

In the context of India, the following practices are considered to be eco-friendly agriculture practices:

  1. Crop diversification: This involves growing different crops in the same area over time. It helps to maintain soil fertility and reduce the risk of pests and diseases.

  2. Legume intensification: This involves increasing the productivity of legume crops through better management practices. Legumes help to improve soil health by fixing nitrogen and are an important source of protein.

  3. Tensiometer use: A tensiometer is a device used to measure soil moisture. Using a tensiometer can help farmers to water their crops more efficiently, reducing water waste and conserving resources.

  4. Vertical farming: This is a relatively new practice in India but is gaining popularity. Vertical farming involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers using artificial light and a controlled environment. It can help to save space and reduce water usage.

Therefore, options 1, 2, and 3 are considered to be practices of eco-friendly agriculture in India, while option 4 may not be as widely recognized as eco-friendly agriculture practice.
