Agriculture has been the backbone of human existence since time immemorial. It has also seen much advancement over the years. However, the agricultural practices carried out in India are still largely traditional. Indian agriculture technology have many limitations as compared to modern agricultural technologies around the world. The main differences, similarities, advantages as well as disadvantages of the two types are discussed in this article.main difference between the traditional agricultural practices of India and modern agricultural practices of the world stems from the inherent nature and outlook towards farming. Traditional farming involves methods that include labour for tilling, sowing and harvesting. Irrigation is majorly dependent on rain and seeds used are not modern.
Modern agricultural practices use mechanised equipment for irrigation, tilling and harvesting along with hybrid seeds. In India, the agriculture technology are labour intensive, whereas the modern agriculture technology are mainly capital intensive. The agricultural land in India are small and disconnected in the ownership of individuals making mechanisation difficult.
On the other hand land for modern agriculture are being consolidated into one large farm. This led to easy access for mechanised equipment and use of hybrid seeds for increased productivity and disease resistance (Schmitz & Moss 2016). The subsidies for modern agriculture technology is far more than traditional farming technologies. Modern agriculture gains from subsidies on energy, irrigation, seeds and fertilisers.Indian agricultural sector is in a difficult phase due to the lack of mechanisation and dearth of technological advances. The agricultural sector in India:
lacks relevant technical knowledge
produces from low quality of seeds,
does not use fertilisers and pesticides intelligently,
lacks adequate irrigation infrastructure,
lacks sufficient credit of capital for growth.
Along with this, the scientific rotation system of crops is not understood or appreciated in India. Most of the Indian farmers plant one crop on the same ground for years. This leads to depletion of soil with specific nutrients, leading to infertility and subsequent decreased yield of the crop. Crop rotation from modern agricultural practices maintains the fertility of soil for subsequent crops through years (McCracken 2012).
