Primitive tools like a hoe, dow, digging sticks are used for cultivation. Modern agricultural inputs like chemical fertilizers, HYV seeds, machines are used wherever suitable This agriculture is dependent on rainfall and the natural fertility of the soil. Means of irrigation like tube wells, canals are used. Soil fertility is also increased by the use of fertilizers. Family members provide labour. Labourers are hired. Land productivity in this type of agriculture is low. Land productivity in this type of agriculture is high as it is meant for commercial purpose.
