Mechanization of agriculture

The Arguments of Agriculture is a delightful read for both the specialist and the person just getting to know the increasingly contested terrains of agricultural policy and ideology. The approach is even-banded, insightful, and faithful to diverse claims. - Frederick H. Buttel Its well-planned format makes the book particularly useful for studying the philosophy, sociology, or economics of agricultural industry, as well as for environmental studies.

A pot culture experiment was undertaken during kharif, 2017 on evaluation of induced mechanism of zinc in rice for expression of tolerance against white backed plant hopper (WBPH) in the Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. It was revealed that basal application of Zn EDTA @ 40 kg/ha along with its foliar spray @ 0.8%, twice at 30 and 45 days after transplanting (DAT) (T6) expressed fair degree of tolerance against WBPH.

Man's technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic period ("New stone age"). The invention of polished stone axes was a major advance because it allowed forest clearance on a large scale to create farms. The discovery of agriculture allowed for the feeding of larger populations, and the transition to a sedentist lifestyle increased the number of children that could be simultaneously raised, as young children no longer needed to be carried, as was the case with the nomadic lifestyle.

Aimed at shedding light on the possible options for developing countries to make use of agri- environmental and rural development measures within the framework of the WTO, this paper surveys those programs used in the Quad that are considered non or at most minimally trade distorting, non-discriminatory and otherwise consistent with current WTO rules. Furthermore, it tries to illustrate the possible outcomes in the ongoing negotiations in the WTO on the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) from a developing country viewpoint, related to the types of mechanisms surveyed above. ...

Challenges to the effectiveness of specific activities and production technologies in agriculture become more pressing each day as worldwide demand for agricultural products increases. The mechanization of agriculture brings positive quantitative and qualitative effects however, the modernization of production tools (tractors and agricultural machinery) needs to be directly linked to increasing economic efficiency of use.

District Etawah falls in western part of Uttar Pradesh. The district has 8 blocks and 696 villages. The net sown area of the district is 1.48 lakh ha with cropping intensity of 210 %. Normal annual rainfall of the district is 792 mm. Three main levels of mechanization technologies need consideration: human power, animal power and mechanical power technologies, with varying degrees of sophistication within each level, on the basis of capacity to do work, costs, precision and effectiveness.

The rapidly increasing population is exerting immense pressure on agricultural lands for higher crop yields, which results in increasing use of chemical fertilizers. That’s why fungicides are widely used in agricultural crop production system for quick result and to ensure crop quality and production. However, the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals resulted in adverse effect on the soil fertility, quality of produce, crop productivity and cause adverse effects to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem.

Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India and every fourth farmer in the country comes from here. Hence, one cannot expect the farmers‟ welfare in India without considering the farmers of Uttar Pradesh. About 17 per cent of total food grain production of the country comes from Uttar Pradesh. Agriculture in Uttar Pradesh is less lucrative as it is characterized by low crop yield, mainly fine cereals (rice and wheat) and high interregional variation. The state is also divided into 9 agro-climatic zones. The eastern region of Uttar Pradesh consists of three agro-climatic zones.

Anthropogenic activities have been the main cause of perceived global warming later in the middle of 20th century. Tillage intensive and highly mechanized traditional agriculture production system has been identified responsible for soil erosion hazards, surface and groundwater pollution, and more water consumption. As a result, the agricultural production system is becoming unsustainable.
