Discuss the differences between traditional and modern agricultural practices. (Ncert Class 8 Science Answer )
Answers
Answer:
Traditional methods of agriculture and age old equipments are used in this kind of farming. For example, the plowing in the field is done by a pair of bullocks. Advanced technology and modern methods of farming are used in this kind of farming. For example, in modern farming field is plowed by tractors. Further, many machines like harvesters, seed drills, threshers are used in later stages of production.
The production is low as low yield seeds are used and manures and cow dung are used as fertilizers. The production is high as high yield varieties (HVY) of seeds are used. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides are used in large quantities.
It requires a great amount of labour and hence many job opportunities are provided to the agricultural workers. Since most of the work is carried out by large machines, the job opportunities to the agricultural workers are comparatively less.

modern agriculture is based on technology
