Agricultural Management

  What is the future of agriculture Future agriculture will use sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology. These advanced devices and precision agriculture and robotic systems will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.   How can farmers protect the environment Activities that improve soil, plant, and animal health can improve resilience to climate change. Regenerative agriculture practices such as no-till cultivation, not burning stubbles, and planting cover crops, can ensure that plants and soil are in the best condition to tolerate drought and erratic rainfall.   How agriculture change the life Agriculture brought about important changes. Man gave up his nomadic life and settled down at one place in selected areas. He could grow his own food. He no longer was a wanderer or gatherer and settled down in one place.   How is agriculture changing to...

  Production level is lower compared to monoculture. The ideal harvest time and growth rate are different for different crops. Unsuitable weather conditions Animals that are not adequately contained or chained can be dangerous, also Seeds of two crops are mixed before sowing and there is no definite pattern for sowing the seeds. (ii) Products of different crops are harvested, threshed, marketed and consumed in mixed form. Advantages of Commercial mixed farming : If managed well, a mixed farming system can provide a number of benefits including increased self- sufficiency of feed, more efficient nutrient cycling, greater provision of ecosystems services such as biodiversity and conservation of non-renewable resources (e.g. fossil fuels for fertilizer manufacture) Farmers can keep their fields under continuous  production. It enhances the productivity of the farmland. It increases the per capita profitability. Both farming’s complement each other. It enhanc...

  Advantages of Commercial Farming Encouraging Improvement in Local Infrastructure Job Creation Lowering the Price of Products Increased Production and Enhancing Food Security Provision of Raw Materials for Agribusiness Manufacturing Companies Lowering the Cost of Production Foreign Exchange earner Disadvantage of commercial farming The disadvantages of commercial agriculture are that it is more damaging to the environment since it uses more chemicals than subsistence agriculture. It also reduces biodiversity since commercial farms often replace diverse ecosystems with farms where only a single species is grown. Deforestation. Intensive farming causes soil degradation and leads to the expansion of new lands. ... Pest and weed resistance to chemicals Soil degradation Impact on natural habitats Water pollution Climate change

  Advantages of Plantation Farming In plantation agriculture leads to foreign exchange reserves: Plantation agriculture provides a positive surge of high foreign exchange reserves. Plantation agriculture promotes agricultural and research development: Plantation farms support research that results in better and higher-quality crops Disadvantages of Plantation Farming. Plantation agriculture can result in deforestation, promotes rural-urban migration, requires significant capital investment, uproots people from their homes, and makes many people landless. Plantation agriculture is leading to deforestation: Large areas of land must be removed from their natural vegetation to establish plantations, which can cause issues including soil erosion, ecological disruption, and biodiversity loss. Plantation farming is bad for the environment

  Advantages Dairy farming it is an eco-friendly business. You can increase dairy production through mechanization instead of using labors. Proper planning, management and taking good care of your animals will provide maximum profit. So, you will get a great source of income Disadvantages of dairy farming Dairy operations can consume large volumes of water to grow feed, water cows, manage manure and process products. Additionally, manure and fertilizer runoff from dairy farms can pollute water resources. Dairy is responsible for 2.9 percent of total human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, dairy production in intensive farming systems pollutes air and water and contributes heavily to soil degradation and deforestation

  Dairy Farming : dairying, also called dairy farming, branch of agriculture that encompasses the breeding, raising, and utilization of dairy animals, primarily cows, for the production of milk and the various dairy products processed from it Plantation farming : is the practice of clearing a large parcel of forest land and planting the desired crops in huge numbers on the cleared land. This type of farming helps in increasing the production of the desired produce and makes it easier to control the cultivation. A plantation is a large piece of land, especially in a tropical country, where crops such as rubber, coffee, tea, or sugar are grown banana plantations in Costa Rica. A plantation is a large number of trees that have been planted together. Commercial grain farming : the production of crops and farm animals for sale, usually with the use of modern technology: commercial farming methods Extensive agriculture , also known as commercial grain farming, involves cultivating ...

  Improve Farming Productivity Implementations of land reforms for improving the production, land reforms are the first and predominant point. Interplant,  Plant more densely,  Plant many crops. Raised beds,  Smart water management,  Heat Tolerant Varieties. Use nitrogen. Sustainable agriculture practices Rotating crops and embracing diversity Planting cover crops and perennials Reducing or eliminating tillage Applying integrated pest management (IPM) Integrating livestock and crops Adopting agroforestry practices Managing whole systems and landscapes
