Modern farm inputs

Ebook "Institutional innovations in the delivery of farm services in India: A smallholder perspective" uses primary evidence to assess the value of agro-input and service delivery business models in terms of their inclusiveness, effectiveness and impact from a small farmer perspective, in the form of case studies in three Indian states: Punjab, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The services discussed include custom rental of farm machinery and equipment, franchising for backward and forward linkage for farmers and the supermarkets for delivery of farm inputs, and extension services.

Mechanization in Indo-Gangetic plains of India is increasing progressively for the past decades. Use of energy intensive inputs is increasing in a modern intensive agricultural production system. The effect of energy intensive inputs are directly associated with the cost of crop production and environmental issues. These necessities the need of energy input – output analysis. This paper presents the energy input-output analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) – wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system studied at Indian Institute of farming system research, Modipuram from 2011 to 2014.

Agriculture is witnessing a serious challenge of declining profitability. The development of agriculture, to a large extent, depends on efficient use of modern farm inputs. Public extension system is still dominating in India and, therefore, its role in the supply of inputs is vital. In this background, a study was conducted on “Perception of extension functionaries about input supply in Jharkhand”. One district belonging to each five divisions was randomly selected. Similarly, two blocks from each selected districts were also randomly selected.

A review of manually operated planting machines in India is presented. The present study show in general that the suitability of manually operated planting machines for different seed and land holdings. Farm mechanization is an important element of agriculture. Mechanization of agriculture is an essential input in modern agriculture. Mechanization also helps in improving utilization efficiency of other inputs, safety, and comfort of the agricultural worker, improvement in the quality and value addition of the produce.

Bitter gourd is an important commercial vegetable crop not only in India but also in whole of southeast Asia. Its fruits contain several active compounds and have many medicinal uses as evident from old texts as well as its popularity in modern medicine. Due to limited irrigation facilities and stress on natural resources, getting high yields with minimal input is vital for agriculture in the current scenario and judicious selection and use of mulching can play a big role in water conservation.

Now a days agriculture is getting more and more dependent upon the supply of synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides etc. which are inevitable to meet food demand for growing population in the world. However, excessive, imprudent and imbalanced use of inputs may throw devastating impacts on the water, air and soil environments. Probably the soil environment is the most vulnerable to the direct effects of these practices in modern agriculture.

Today, tractor is one of the most important power sources in agriculture. Effect of tractor power on agriculture is considerable. The use of modern technology during latter decades resulted in rapid growth of farm production. Tractors and farm machinery are important samples of this modern technology. The quality of inputs of mechanization and consequently land and labor productivity in both situations, may differ considerably. The study was planned and conducted during year 2015- 16.

The precision farming including plasticulture applications has proven its worth in realizing more output per unit of inputs and resources bestowed on to land. As an alternative to raise production and productivity especially to compete global trade and meet out own requirements. Cabbage is grown extensively in summers in Ladakh region and is stored for winters. Due to lack of scientific know how, improved varieties and modern precision farming techniques, crop yield and quality is comparatively low.

Water scarcity has many negative impacts on the environment, including lakes, rivers, wetlands, and other fresh water resources. Furthermore, water shortage makes flow management in the rehabilitation of village streams problematic. Owing to poor water resource management system and climate change India faces a persistent water shortage. Indian agriculture accounts for 90% water use due to fast track ground water depletion and poor irrigation systems. Water is a critical input into agriculture in nearly all its aspects having a determining effect on the eventual yield.
