“…All farmers used to sale the surplus produce in local market to traders. In case of maize and rice majority of farmers use the high yielding varieties and hybrid seed while in other crops majority of farmers use the local or farm saved seed (Roy et al 2021 andRoy et al 2015). Majority of farmer's family (more than ninety per cent) in the study area are having cow and goat (Table 8).…”

The economy of Sonbhadra district is mainly dependent on agriculture. The district has the highest percentage of forest area among all districts of Uttar Pradesh and the district is also called as Energy Capital of India. Sonbhadra district has highest Scheduled Tribe (ST) population in Uttar Pradesh and constituting 20.67 per cent in total district population. The present study was based on primary and secondary data collected to study the socio-economic condition of tribal farmers and status of agriculture in Sonbhadra district. The analysis of secondary information and data shows that net area sown and forest cover was 28.26 per cent and 50.36 per cent of total area respectively in the district. The cropping intensity and irrigation intensity of the district was 151.34 and 172.96 respectively. Wheat crop has the highest share in area (22.93 per cent) followed by paddy (15.77 per cent), maize (4.98 per cent), arhar (3.54 per cent) and gram (3.36 per cent) in the district. Total number of land holdings in the district was around 2.03 lakhs and 84.14 per cent land holdings in the district belongs to marginal and small category of land holding. Classification of population shows that district has highest share of marginal workers followed by agricultural labour, other workers, farmers and family labour. Around 61 per cent population in the district were illiterate. The analysis of primary information and data shows that average age of surveyed farmers was 40.1 years with majority of farmers (68.4 per cent) belongs to age group 35-50 years. Majority of farmers getting agriculture related information from neighbor friends and relative followed by radio, progressive farmers, officials of SHGs and NGOs and newspaper. The productivity of almost all the crops at farmers level was less than the district average. There is a high potential to increase the farm productivity. Share of marketed surplus in total production (Roy et al. 2019) was very less at farmers’ level showing major portion of the farm production was consumed as family need. Around 67 per cent farmers are taking credit from bank followed by money lender and Self Help Groups. Consumption expenditure details of farmers shows that around 36 per cent of their expenditure on food items which consists of 22.63 per cent on foodgrains, 4.18 per cent on pulses, 5.20 per cent on vegetables and 3.53 per cent on other food items (Roy et al. 2020). The findings of the present study are crucial for future planning towards upliftment of socio-economic condition of the tribal farmers and improvement in status of agriculture in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh.

Unlike field crops where the cultural practices of raising seed crops are mostly similar to the commercial crops, in case of the vegetables, not only the seed crops are grown for a much longer duration than the crops raised for the vegetable purpose, they often also have critical requirements of photoperiods, temperatures, humidity and precipitation. Moreover, compared to field crops, most of vegetable seeds are considered high value and low volume, and hence these require specific care in pre-harvest stages, i.e. isolation and roguing, during harvesting and extraction, and post-harvest operations such as drying, processing, packaging and storage. Due to their vast diversity in growth pattern, induction of flowering and pollination behaviour, seed production procedures need to be followed for each group, e.g. cole crops, cucurbits, leafy vegetables, root crops, solanaceous, malvaceous crops, etc. General principles and standard practices in vegetable seed production are provided in this chapter.

“…The modernization of agricultural ecological environment is an important orientation to accelerate the transformation of economic structure and achieve better, faster and healthy development of national economy under the background of the new era. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was stressed that in order to achieve the goal of building a modern socialist country, it was necessary to intensify the development of modern agriculture, complete the short leg of agricultural modernization as soon as possible, and quickly promote the multi-level and all-round modernization of agriculture in agriculture, rural farmers [2]. It is clear that on the journey to build a socialist country with Chinese characteristics in the new era, agricultural modernization has become an important strategic goal of the country's economic development, is one of the thought and basic strategies of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and is an important task for China to implement the strategy of rural revitalization.…”

Promoting agricultural international trade to agricultural ecological environment governance is an important step in the process of agricultural modernization, which is helpful to realize the rural revitalization strategy and ensure national food security. In this essay, Henan Province was taken as an example to evaluate the performance of agricultural eco-environmental governance in Henan Province from 2013 to 2021. In this study, entropy weight -TOPSIS model was used to select 11 indicators from four dimensions of agricultural production conditions, agricultural non-point source pollution, agricultural output level and the intensity of ecological environment governance to construct the performance evaluation index system of agricultural ecological environment governance. TOPSIS model results showed that agricultural non-point source pollution had the greatest impact on agricultural eco-environmental performance evaluation in Henan Province. The performance score of agricultural eco-environmental governance in Henan Province showed a V-shaped distribution, which decreased year by year from 2013 to 2016 and increased year by year from 2017 to 2021.
