iv) Lack of adequate farm machinery:
Even today a large number of farmers in Junej use wooden ploughs and bullocks. They don’t have adequate machinery like seed
drill. So, old machineries take more time in tillage practices.
v) Lack of finances for farmers:
In Junej most of the farmers are marginal and small. They do not have enough money to buy good quality seeds, machinery and
other inputs.
vi) Lack of good quality seeds and fertilizers:
Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use of good quality leads to
higher land productivity. In Junej, however, there are two limitations in the use of fertilizer. First these fertilizers are most
useful in irrigated condition. But in Junej 100 per cent of land depend on rainfall. In Junej mostly farmers use nitrogenous
fertilizers, especially urea, it can’t decrees salinity. This has resulted in disproportionate use of fertilizer depleting the quality
of land.
