In traditional farming one cannot increase yield of crops substantially. For increasing productivity of all crops it is highly essential to adopt modern technology viz mechanization where in instead of human being machineries are used for cultivation of crop, drip irrigation for application of water to crop, use of weedicides to remove weeds, polyhouse cultivation of flowers & vegetables, high density planting in fruit crops. Bio-technology, hydroponics are some other technologies used in agriculture. In this way in Agriculture advanced modern technologies are used to boost the yield of crops. This is necessary as land is shrinking due to urbanization, industrialization nauseating, to increase yield per unit area from available land by adopting advanced, modern technologies. For this purpose trained manpower in application & adaptation of modern technologies are required. Thus process of modernization is a continuous process.
