- Organic fertilizer use has increased in the past decade.
- Crop protection products are necessary but must be calibrated due to environmental concerns.
- The introduction of IPM and biotechnology has benefited crop production.
- Farm machinery and equipment require lump-sum investments and are influenced by farm profitability.
- Irrigation increases land use, productivity, and crop diversification.
- Many irrigation systems are gravity-based, but modern technologies like drip and sprinkler irrigation are also used.
