Question

In agricultural practices, higher input gives a higher yield. Discuss how?

Answer 1

In agricultural practices, higher inputs give higher yields. Higher inputs in the form of sowing of seeds of improved variety, application of better manure and fertiliser, proper spraying of pesticides and weedicides, improved threshing and harvesting of crops lead to an increase in crop productivity. This also means higher money inputs to raise the yield. The financial condition of farmers allows them to take up different farming practices and technologies. The farmer’s purchasing capacity for input decides the cropping system and production practices.
