Transport costs are the costs internally assumed by the providers of transport services. They come as fixed (infrastructure) and variable (operating) costs, depending on various conditions related to geography, infrastructure, administrative barriers, energy, and how passengers and freight are carried.

Much like labor and capital, transportation costs affect directly the price of goods and services and the profits of producers. Consequently, investments that reduce the cost of moving goods to and from markets (via improvements in reliability, transit times, service levels, etc.)

The total transportation consists of line-haul, pickup and delivery, terminal-handling and billing and collecting costs.

Those who oppose the use of pesticides is the most likely to be opposed to the technology of the Green Revolution. Those who oppose the use of pesticides is the most likely to be opposed to the technology of the Green Revolution.

It improved the economic lot of farmers, and their standard of living greatly improved. It reduced the import of food grains. The revolution increased the use of fertilizers. Generally speaking a fertilizer has the chance to soak into the soil and spread to other areas if it rains.

: the great increase in production of food grains (such as rice and wheat) due to the introduction of high-yielding varieties, to the use of pesticides, and to better management techniques.

Higher yield enabled farmers to sell the surplus food in the market and earn more. Pesticides and insecticides are able to protect the crops from pests and insects. A good irrigation system is able to enhance crop production. Loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilisers.

Green Revolution refers to an extra-ordinary increase in agricultural produce. The Green Revolution has been possible due to the adoption of new technologies and using high yielding varieties of seeds. The High Yielding Varieties of seeds was the reason for the success of the Green Revolution.

Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent.

The introduction of High Yielding Varieties (HYV) of seeds and the increased use of chemical fertilisers and irrigation are known collectively as Green Revolution. It provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in foodgrains, thus improved the agricultural sector in India.

noun. (functioning as singular) the branch of economics dealing with the distribution, management, and productivity of land.

Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants in agriculture for food, fuel, fiber, recreation, and land restoration. Agronomy has come to encompass work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science.

Agronomists work for medium to large-scale farms, crop and seed production companies, crop protection companies, government agencies, research firms, environmental organizations, and colleges or universities. The future outlook for an agronomist will be great over the next five years.

According to the BLS, job prospects are good in many fields for agronomists with bachelor’s degrees. Agronomists with graduate degrees should also enjoy good prospects, though research and teaching opportunities at the higher academic levels may not be plentiful. Agronomists focus their work on the production of crops.

Agronomists usually wear protective coats, gloves and eyewear while working in a lab. When agronomists are visiting a farm, they typically wear casual clothing, including hats and sunglasses that protect them from the sun. Agronomists examine plants in fields, orchards and greenhouses.

four years

At the minimum, Agronomists require a Bachelor’s (BA) degree. It is advisable to attend a university with a land grant and obtain a degree in agricultural sciences or food sciences. However, other related majors include biology, chemistry, botany, or plant conservation. Research and lab work is essential.

To be a successful agronomist, you should be focused on developing and promoting better farming practices. A top-notch agronomist should be self-motivated, detail-oriented, and analytical with excellent listening, communication, and problem-solving skills.
