Abstract

The increases in agricultural products mainly depend on the use of fertilizer along with HYV of seeds, irrigation, mechanization of agriculture, etc. In order to meet the objectives of the relevant data collected through primary data sources. In the present study, the collection of data from the field have been compiled, processed and investigated with the help of some statistical methods represented with the help of maps. The high consumption of fertilizer is found in Shirate, Tujarpur, Burli and Kavathe Piran villages due to the fertile soil, high development of irrigation facilities. The low fertilizer consumption is recorded in Hategaon, Nimsod, Bhalwani, Renavi, Dighnchi, Nelkaranji, Manerajuri, Salgare, Karoli (T), Agalgaon, Dafalapur, and Sankh villages. Because, these villages are located in hilly area, drought-prone area and low development of irrigation. The high proportion area under HYV of seeds of all crops to the total cultivated area is found in Shirate, Burli, Shivani, Savalaj and Kavathe Piran villages due to the extensive development surface irrigation resulted in high area under the sugarcane cultivation, high area under the grape cultivation. The low proportion of area under HYVs of seeds is registered in Hategaon, Nimsod, Renavi, Nelkaranji, Manerajuri, Salgare, Agalgaon, and Sankh villages. Because low development of surface irrigation and underdeveloped the development of farm technology.
