AGRICULTURE                

                         

                                                     The practice of AGRICULTURE is never ending it continues as humans continues to eat food . In former days the crops which have been cultivated had a lot of nutritive value, but nowadays the addition of pesticides are becoming more . In my village , while i was small , my grandfather used to take me to the paddy field . He used to say that earlier they won't use any pesticides and it will take 6 months for a paddy crop to grow . Thus , it is harvested every six months . But , nowadays the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers has increased resulting in the earlier harvesting of crops i.e 3 months . The harvesting period is reduced from 6 MONTHS TO 2 AND HALF MONTHS . This advantage is aided by chemicals and also this leads to loss of nutrients . The crops which we consume now has less nutritive value . The main reason for loss for nutrients is treated water . The water is treated with many chemicals and the source of water is from tap . Earlier days purer form of water from well which is situated near the field is used which also contributes to comfortable and convinent  water supply . The wastage of water has been reduced nowadays . Many hybrid varieties have been cultivated which also contributes to the loss of nutrients in small extent . The above information regarding the water supply and nutritive value is given by a farmer , and the farmer is none other than my father .
