Some of the key ways include: technological growth has significantly raised agricultural sustainability and output in India.
Precision agriculture
Among other uses, GPS and GIS enable the precise mapping of farmlands, so site-specifically applied ingredients like fertilizers and pesticides.
This helps to minimize damage on the environment, cut back waste, and make best use of resources.
Remote Sensing: Satellites and drones provide practical data on soil moisture, crop health, among other things. This lets farmers make the proper decision on pest control, fertilization, and irrigation.
Technologies including automated irrigation systems, robotic harvesters, and drone spraying pesticides increase productivity, lower labor costs, and decrease human involvement.
better seed varieties:
Research and breeding projects have produced these seeds, known as high-yield varieties (HYVs), that have multiplied crop yields by several orders of magnitude.
Although controversial, genetically modified crops like But cotton have increased pest and disease resistance leading to better crop output and less pesticide use.
• ICT means Information and Communication Technologies.
For mobile phones and the internet, the farmer will get expert recommendations, current market data, and weather updates. This lets the farmer make decisions on marketing, planting, as well as harvesting the goods.
Online marketing of agriculture products is supported by E-NAM (National Agricultural Markets) via e-commerce platforms. It connects buyers directly to farmers and improves market access.
With more efficient irrigation systems
Drip irrigation brings water directly to the plant roots, therefore lowering water loss from evaporation and runoff and so elevating water use effectiveness.
o Sprinkler Irrigation is more effective than flood irrigation. Sprinkler systems help to distribute water more fairly and reduce water waste.11
Improved agricultural efficiency is not the only consequence of these techniques; they also
•Environmental benefits: improved use of resources and less use of chemical inputs.
better market reach improved farmer revenue: Reduced expenses from higher yields.
• Better food security results from higher food production meant to accommodate the growing food demand.
