Consider the following statements
- The farm power availability in India is much lower than that of Korea.
- India is meeting 80% of its urea requirement through indigenous production.
a) Only 2
b) Only 1
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2
Answer »Answer: (c)
According to the Department of Agriculture, the share of agriculture workers and draught animals (farm power sources in agriculture) has come down from 63.5 per cent in 1971-72 to 13.67 per cent in 2009-10, whereas the share of tractors, power tillers, and motors has gone up from 36.51 per cent to 86.33 per cent during the same period.
Although India is the largest manufacturer of tractors in the world, accounting for one-third of the global production, farm mechanisation in India is still at a nascent stage, with the average farm power availability in the country lower than in countries such as Korea, Japan and the US.
India is meeting 80 per cent of its urea requirement through indigenous production but is largely import-dependent for meeting the requirements of potassic (K) and phosphatic (P) fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers have played a significant role in the development of the agricultural sector.
Consumption of chemical fertilizers has steadily increased over the years.
