Increase Your Yield
During
the past few decades, the world has seen
a dramatic increase in overall food production
and an equally dramatic increase in the
use of our natural agricultural resources.
Worldwide
agriculture continues to show positive trends.
That is good. But, in order to get increases
in crop production, some of the methods
utilized may not have been so good.
Much
of the crop increase is due to the revolution
in agricultural technology, which was based
on higher yielding seeds, first introduced
into world production in the early and mid
1960s.
Resultant
increased yields of crops so vital to an
ever increasing population were also fueled
by the addition of chemical fertilizers,
pesticides, herbicides, equipment mechanization,
and, of course, the intensified use of water.
