Exploring modern and traditional practices adopted by farmers in Rupnagar District, Punjab

About 62% of India's population depends on the agriculture industry for their subsistence, and it contributes roughly 18% of the nation's GDP. Farmers adhere to agronomical standards from seeding to harvesting and storing. The unique farming practices of Punjab's Rupnagar District, known as the "Granary of India," are the focus of this study. We look at the complex interplay between crop productivity and agronomic techniques that will influence the area's agricultural future. This study involves interviewing 90 farmers in six distinct villages to learn more about their farming methods and socioeconomic condition. A questionnaire was created to conduct interviews with farmers. The information gathered from the respondents was sorted and analyzed using the proper statistical techniques. Seed rate, fertilizer application, seed treatment, major weeds infesting the fields, major pests attacking crops, major diseases infesting the fields, and crop yield range were among the issues covered by the information collected from the respondents.
