Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

Zero tillage: A potential technology to improve cotton yield
Genetika, 2016 Zero tillage technology revealed with no use of any soil inverting technique to grow crops. The crop plant seed is planted in the soil directly after irrigation to make the soil soft without any replenishing in soil layers. A study was conducted to evaluate cotton genotypes FH-114 and FH-142 for the consecutive three years of growing ...

Remarks on soil structure in relation to zero-tillage.
Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1970 Effects of tillage on density and structural homogeneity, requirements for good root penetration and growth in soil, and types of soil structure most suitable for plant growth are discussed. It is suggested that tillage normally creates a sufficiently heterogeneous soil structure, while soil structure after zero-tillage gradually becomes more ...
