Agriculture Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - By:Jaspinder Singh Agriculture
Slide 2 - Two-thirds of its population is engaged in agricultural activities. Agriculture is a primary activity. It contributes 17% to the GDP. It provides raw material to various agro-based industries. It is also helpful in increasing exports. Types of Farming: Primitive Subsistence Farming Intensive Subsistence Farming Commercial Farming Agriculture
Slide 3 - It is practiced on small patches of land It is practiced with the help of primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks Family Members work as laborers. It is dependent on monsoon , natural fertility of soil and other environmental conditions. Low Productivity. No Use of Fertilizers. Different Types of Crops are grown as per the need of the family. Primitive Subsistence Farming
Slide 4 - It is also known as ‘slash and burn’ agriculture. Farmers clear a patch of land and produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family. When the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation. Primitive Subsistence Farming
Slide 5 - Different Names of Slash and Burn Farming
Slide 6 - It is practiced in areas of high population pressure on land. It is labour intensive farming High doses of biochemical inputs, HYVs seeds are used to obtain higher production. More than one crop is grown. Better irrigation facilities are required for obtaining higher production. There is enormous pressure on agricultural land as the ‘right of inheritance’ leads to the division of land among successive generations As a result, the farmers continue to take maximum output from the limited land. Intensive Subsistence Farming
Slide 7 - It is done for selling purpose. High yielding variety (HYV) seeds are used. More use of chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides. Modern Machinery(Input) is used. The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop. Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. A single crop is grown on a large area. The plantation has an interface of agriculture and industry. A well developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development of plantations. In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc. are important plantation crops. Commercial Farming
Slide 8 - Agricultural Seasons
Slide 9 - Rabi Crops Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December. Rabi crops are harvested in summer from April to June. Example :- wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard. Most of these crops are grown in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh due to alluvial soil and availability of rainfall.
Slide 10 - Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon. Kharif crops are harvested in September-October. Exaple: paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, tur (arhar), moong, urad, cotton, jute, groundnut and soyabean. Most of these crops are grown in Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Three crops of paddy are grown in a year in Assam, West Bengal and Odisha . These are Aus, Aman and Boro. Kharif Crops
Slide 11 - These crops are grown between the rabi and the kharif seasons. Example: watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops. Zaid Crops
Slide 12 - Silviculture: It is the growing and cultivation of trees. Sericulture: It is rearing of silkworms for the raw silk for industry. Horticulture: It is the production of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Pisciculture: It is the production of fish , crabs etc. Apiculture: It is the maintenance of honey bee. Floriculture: It is concerned with the cultivation of ornamental and flowering plants for gardens. Allied Sector of Agriculture
Slide 13 - Norman Borlaug is known as The Father of Green Revolution. In India, M.S. Swaminathan is known as The Father of Green Revolution. Green Revolution was based on HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and canal irrigation. The new technique of agriculture was brought after the drought of 1966(Bihar) As a result, Grain production crashed by one-fifth. The main aim is to achieve food security by increasing the production. The states which were benefitted from green revolution include Punjab , Haryana a, Western UP and Ganga Nagar District of Rajasthan. Green Revolution
Slide 14 - Positive Impacts: Increase in Agriculture Production Industrial Growth Prosperity of Farmers Reduction in import of food grains Diffusion of rice and wheat cultivation to non- traditional areas. Negative Impacts: Regional Disparities Health Hazards Depletion of underground water Positive and negative Impacts of Green revolution
