AGRICULTURE
Development of Irrigational
Facilities
The multiple cropping and intensive
uses of chemical fertilizers and
heavy watering of the agricultural
land result in the rise of the water
level. As a result, such areas have
developed the problem of water
logging, ultimately damaging the
standing crops, microorganisms,
animals and even the human
population.
Mechanisation
The use of tractors, combined with
harvesters increased with suitable
machinery to work on difficult soils
became practicable and has brought
such lands under plough. Increasing
use of machinery arid tractors with
the development of two-tier and/or
three-tier cultivation system has
pulverized the land.
