Question

What is the advantage modern agriculture implements over traditional one?

Answer 1

Hint:- Modern agriculture is a very useful technique to make changes in agriculture and farming practices that help farmers enhance efficiency and lower the number of natural resources like water, land, and energy necessary to meet the world's food, fuel, and fibre needs. 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.

Complete answer:
There are many advantages of modern agriculture over the traditional such as:-1.Reduces labour work .2.It takes very less effort as compare to traditional ways 3.increase yield.4.start using organic fertilizer reduce soil and water pollution.5.various new varieties are introduced in market.
Traditional farming can only yield a limited biomass,as food for human and animals.better management practices and increase in acreage can increase yield,but only to limited extent.plant breeding as a technology has helped increase yield to a very large extent.
Plant breeding One of the most crucial steps of agriculture . Plant breeding is the purposeful manipulation of plant breeding technique for development of high yielding and disease resistant varieties in wheat,rice,maize etc.
Some very common techniques used in plant breeding are:- 1.conventional plant breeding-involves Crossing or hybridisation of pure lines followed by artificial selection to produce plants with desirable traits. 2.mutation breeding- use of induced mutations in plant breeding to develop improved varieties.3.plant tissue culture-is based on totipotent nature of plant cells.
All this technique are approaches to achieve :-1.increased crop yield and improve quality.2.increased tolerance to environment.3.resistant to pathogen.4.increased tolerance to insect pests.

Note:- Plant breeding techniques led to dramatic increase in food production in our country.Green revolution was dependent to a large extent on plant breeding techniques for development of high yielding and disease resistant varieties in wheat,rice,maize etc.
