Study Notes
Farming Practices and Agricultural Technologies in India
- Farmers' decision to adopt specific practices and technologies is influenced by several factors, including socio-economic conditions, availability of resources, and access to information and markets.
Levels of Production Practices
- Three levels of production practices are mentioned: traditional, intermediate, and modern.
- Traditional practices are characterized by low levels of input use and yield.
- Intermediate practices involve moderate input use and yield.
- Modern practices involve high levels of input use and yield.
Factors Influencing Farming Practices
- The primary factor that allows farmers to take up different farming practices and agricultural technologies is the availability of resources, such as land, labor, and capital.
- Access to information and markets also plays a crucial role in adopting new practices and technologies.
Correlation between Inputs and Yields
- The correlation between higher inputs and yields implies that increased use of inputs, such as fertilizers and irrigation, can lead to higher yields and productivity.
