Water is essential input in agriculture. Due to the absence of proper irrigation facility, 80% of the total cultivated area depends on the uncertain monsoon. Therefore, the suceess or failure of the monsoon determines the success or failure of agriculture production.The rainfall is unreliable due to two factors: untimely and inadequate. ii) Low use of fertilizer per unit cropped area: Farmers do not use sufficient fertilizer due to lack of water, scarcity of fertilizer in market and insufficient money for fertilizer. Many a times they don’t get fertilizer at the right time. iii) Traditional farming methods: This also leads to low productivity. There is a lot of ignorance about the use of new farming methods and technologies such as multiple Detailed Project Report – IWMP-1 (Patan )
District Watershed Development Unit - Jamnagar cropping. They don’t use FYM and other input in a proper way; that is why they don’t get 100% output. So these factors contribute to low productivity. iv) Lack of adequate farm machinery: Even today a large number of farmers in Patan use wooden ploughs and bullocks. They don’t have adequate machinery like seed drill. So, old machineries take more time in tillage practices. v) Lack of finances for farmers: In Patan most of the farmers are marginal and small. They do not have enough money to buy good quality seeds, machinery and other inputs. vi) Lack of good quality seeds and fertilizers: Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use of good quality leads to higher land productivity. In Patan, however, there are two limitations in the use of fertilizer. First these fertilizers are most useful in irrigated condition. But in Patan 80 per cent of land depend on rainfall. In Patan mostly farmers use nitrogenous fertilizers especially urea. This has resulted in disproportionate use of fertilizer depleting the quality of land. vii) Lack of other facilities such as storage and marketing: 5-10% of agriculture product damage after harvesting due to scarcity of proper storage and proper market for sale. So he sells to local traders at the low prices. Farmers mainly face proper means of transportation and roads. And second problem is farmers don’t have proper storage facilities.
