Download or read book Sustainable Growth of Agriculture in India written by S. K. Mishra and published by M.D. Publications Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows that the instant need to feed the teeming millions propelled us to increase the use of chemical fertilizers and adopt better agricultural practices which have created multifaced problems in agriculture. However, these methods have been killing the natural fertilizing potential of soil. The persistently growing use of external nutrients has enormously raised the cost of farming thus turning agriculture into an unremunerative occupation. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has also been causing long-term hazards to soil fertility and intensifying the need of subsidy on domestic and imported fertilizers. All these hinder sustainable growth of agriculture. The study also shows that prices of inputs , which farmers have been using, have increased at a much faster rate than those of agriculture output causing impoverishment, in real sense, among them and making agriculture an occupation of last resort.

The study focused on characteristic features, farm machinery inventory available with different custom hire service (CHS) providers, economic feasibility, investment pattern, benefits in use of different CHS providers and problems faced by the farmers as well as the CHS providers in the study region. The results indicated that the government subsidized Non Governmental organization (NGO) operated CHSCs are following stringent norms in providing farm machinery services and payments towards services compared to other CHS providers in the study region. The NGO operated CHSC in Chikkaballapur had invested highest compared to other CHS providers. Irrespective of the CHS providers and region, the investment made on tillage equipments was the highest. However, the government subsidized CHSCs own maximum number farm machinery inventory compared to other CHS providers irrespective of the region.

The non-availability of skilled labour, spare parts of farm machinery and repair and maintenance and local workshops were the major constraints faced by the CHS providers. While non-availability of machinery services in time, quality of farm operation and payment options were the major constraints faced by the farmers.
