4. WHAT IS AGRICULTURE? Agriculture is the cultivation of land for effective crop growth and raising of livestock. INTRODUCTION

5. TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE (1600s -1700s) Traditional Agriculture  can be defined as a primitive style of  farming  that involves the intensive use of indigenous knowledge,  traditional  tools, natural resources, organic fertilizer and cultural beliefs of the farmers. In other words , plant and animals are used for consumption and survival as a way of life

6. MODERN AGRICULTURE (TODAY’S AGRICULTURE) Modern agriculture  is an evolving approach to  agricultural  innovations and  farming  practices that help farmers increase efficiency and reduce the number of natural resources like water, land, and energy necessary to meet the world's food, fuel, and fiber needs. The agribusiness , intensive farming , organic farming , and sustainable agriculture are other names of modern agriculture.

7. Tillage (working the soil with hoes, plows or other equipment) Seedbed shaping (leveling land or making raised beds or ridges) LAND PREPRATION

8. LAND PREPRATION OLD CONCEPT DISK PLOUGH HARROW PLOUGH MB PLOUGH LAND LEVELLER

9. SOWING & PLANTING BY HAND FUNNEL GOOD QUALITY PROPER

10. MORE QUICKLY MORE ACCURATELY SOWING & PLANTING

11. IRRIGATION TRADITIONAL TYPES :Moat ,Chain Pump, Dhekli , Rahat. TURN BY TURN EVERYONE MODERN AUTOMATIC MICROIRRIGATION -DRIP IRRIDATION -SPRINKLE IRRIGATION

12. Use to remove the weeds. To alter the microclimate below the plants. More time consuming. WEEDING

13. Cutters and Shredders are used. Hoe. Steering disk. Rotational moulding. Automatic mechanical. WEEDING

14. HARVESTING TRADITIONAL KNIFE SICKLE MODERN BACKHOE COMBINE ROBOTIC HARVESTING

15. Most modern tractor used for both purposes harvesting and sowing.

16. IT IS THE ONLY PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURE? PESTICIDES INTERCROPPING FERTILIZERS GENETICALY MODIFIED PLANTS FOOD PRESERVATION

17. MODERN AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY VERSUS INDIA’S AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES 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 disadvantages seen in the modern agricultural technology is the excessive use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. The main disadvantages seen in the modern agricultural technology is the excessive use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. This leads to less variability and loss of indigenous varieties of crop plants that may be better than the hybrid varieties

18. Irrigation and storage in modern and traditional agriculture technique Total area under irrigation in India (2001- 2010) (Source: Government of India, 2016) Traditional farming is entirely dependent on the environmental factors for irrigation, which sometimes prove to be very unpredictable and unfavorable. Out of the total water used for irrigation in traditional farming, only 20-50% reach the crop and the rest is lost during its. Moreover, traditional irrigation practices have exhausted renewable water sources. It has been observed that underground water tables are dropping by 10 metres annually Traditional harvesting and storage conditions of Indian farms and farmers result in large proportions of crop wastage.

19. Traditional Indian agricultural practices and its problems lacks relevant technical knowledge produces from low quality of seeds, does not use fertilizers and pesticides intelligently, lacks adequate irrigation infrastructure, lacks sufficient credit of capital for growth.

20. Remedies for Indian agriculture sector   Modern technologies cannot be fully incorporated in the Indian subcontinent due to limitation of land holdings. Testing of soil quality for planting correct crops. Using disease resistant seeds. Using technology to provide technical knowledge to the farmers. Increased use of government policies to utilize the subsidies provided. Traditional knowledge along with modern technological advancements can help India become the foremost country of agricultural products in the world.
