Agriculture Scenario in India: India's economic security continues to predicate upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the future. Even now agriculture supports 58 /s of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. As of today, India supports 16.8% of world's population on 4.2% of world's water resources and 2.3% of global land. The country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture during three decades since the onset of green revolution in late sixties. This enabled the country to overcome widespread hunger and starvation; achieve self-sufficiency in food; reduce poverty and bring economic transformation in millions of rural families. The situation, however, started turning adverse for the sector around mid-nineties, with slowdown in growth rate of output, which then resulted in stagnation or even decline in farmer's income leading to agrarian distress, which is spreading and turning more and more serious. Natural resource is the base of agriculture, which provides for sustainable production, is shrinking and degrading, and is adversely affecting production capacity of the ecosystem. However, demand for agriculture is rising rapidly with increase in population and per caput income and growing demand from industry sector. There is, thus, an urgent need to identify severity of problem confronting agriculture sector to restore its vitality and put it back on higher growth trajectory. The problems, however, are surmountable, particularly when new tools of science and technology have started offering tremendous opportunities for application in agriculture. The Equipment Our equipment is especially made to work in row crops such as cotton pulses etc. of an agricultural field. The economic condition of farmers and the cost of labor, owing to such conditions, this equipment can find its application. The equipment is intended to perform three important operations done in fields, namely, Spraying pesticide, spraying herbicide and applying urea. All the three operations can be performed simultaneously or individually. Application of urea to the crops is not being focused much by various agriculture equipment producing firm and the equipment available are mostly suitable for large field which are in hectors. Moreover, whatever methods are available for applying urea results in high wastage of urea, we have focused on the same. |
