Question

What are the reasons of low agricultural productivity in India?

Answer 1

too much use of synthetic fertilizers causin acidity of the soil, and increasin the pH value. this is one of the reasons

Answer 2

I'll add to the other answers.  

A lack of current research information can have a huge impact on the yields, especially in rural areas and lower-productivity lands.  

In almost every country there are universities doing research on ag crops and ways to increase production.  The big difference in the United States has been the presence of the Cooperative Extension Service and the Land Grant University System.  This unique system allowed research based information to get from the scientists to the hands of the farmers it was designed to benefit.  In the last couple of decades, many countries have strived to duplicate the Extension system that has existed in the US for the last 100 years.

Answer 3

hi,

because due to* illegal seeds,

                        * illegal chemical speading,

                        * method of cultivation

                        * less rain.

Answer 4

Some reasons pretaining to rice.

The Indian farmers are using much less fertilizer per unit cropped area than their counterparts in South and South-East Asian Countries. There is vide disparity in fertilizer use within the country. The States like Tamil Nadu and Punjab use as high as 100-150 kg. as against 20 kg/ha in Assam, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. In Eastern Region, rice area is about 59% but fertilizer consumption is low, resulting in poor productivity.

Transfer/adoption of improved production technology in harsh rainfed eco-system has not picked up its desired momentum. Therefore, productivity of rice in these eco-system is considerably poor.

The complex ecological situation of rainfed eco-system consisting of upland, shallow low land, semi-deep water and deep water conditions is one of prime reasons for low productivity. In fact, about 60% of the total rice area in the country is concentrated in rainfed eco-system and it is contributing about 45% to the national production of rice, but rainfed eco-system is handicapped with varied natural, socio-economic, organizational and technological constraints resulting in low productivity.

Out of 45 million hectares of total rice in India, upland rice occupies about 7 million hectares, of which 6 million hectares are concentrated in Eastern India comprising of Chhattisgarh, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Assam and these states together constitute about 13.5% (upland) of total area under rice in the country. It is often found that upland rainfed crop suffered due to soil moisture stress at critical crop growth stage including drought, lack of resistant/ tolerance of diseases and pests, in adequate plant population and low nutrients status of soils are responsible for low productivity of rice in upland areas.

Answer 5

lack of field, lack of raw materials for agricultural purposes, and lack of machines to produce.

Answer 6

arre yar app to indian ho tab bhi ni pata!@! bhudhu!!

india me jo kissan hai na...vo sab property dealers ban chuke hai....vo bus kheti bari chor ke properties ke kaam me lag gaye hai!!

jab zameen hi nahi hai kaha hogi khetti???

that is why there is low productivity in india!!
