Question

how to increase agricultural productivity essay

Answer 1

Answer:

there are different steps for increase agriculture productivity

Explanation:

step 1- in step 1 we have to choose the showings grains very wisely they should be disease resistent , they can survive in little harsh conditions, and the most important thing is they having great yield.

step 2- in step 2 we have to take care of our crops they should provided fertilizer and manures time to time to check the sufficient water supply and all that..

step 3- in step 3 we were focusing on post harvesting losses during the process of crop harvesting to processing into edible product there is a too much loss of the total yield

to avoid this we have to use such genetically modified plants which shows less losses

and we have to use wiser methods for processing process.

please mark it brainliest...

Answer 2

Answer:Largest increase in productivity has been in case of wheat and in case of non-food grains; it has been noticed in sugarcane and cotton. Productivity of coarse cereals (jowar, bajra and maize), pulses and oilseeds has risen relatively slowly.

However, productivity per worker has remained almost stagnant over the period as would be clear from the fact that GDP per worker which was Rs. 1019 in 1950-51 fell to Rs. 988 in 1960-61, rose to Rs. 1013 in 1970-71 and to Rs. 1025 in 1979-80 (figures are at 1970-71 prices).

Low yield per unit area across almost all crops has become a regular feature of Indian agriculture. For example, though India accounted for 21.8 per cent of global paddy production, the estimated yield per hectare in 2004-05 was less than that in Korea and Japan, and only about a third of that in Egypt, which had the highest yield level in the reference year.

Similarly, in wheat, while India, accounting for 12 percent of global production, had average yield slightly lower than the global average. It was less than a third of the highest level estimated for the UK in 2004-05. For coarse grains and major oilseeds, Indian yields are a third and 46 per cent, respectively, of the global average.

In cotton, the situation is slightly better with Indian yields at 63 per cent of the global average. While agro-climatic conditions prevailing in countries may partly account for the differences in yield levels, nonetheless, for major food as well as commercial crops, there is tremendous scope for increasing yield levels with technological breakthroughs.
