Attitudes of the Block Supervisors toward the Effect of Modern Agricultural Technologies on Environment -- a case study in Mymensingh District, Bangladesh--

摘要

Numerous technological advances have been made and all efforts are being made to intensively utilize those technologies. The major agricultural technologies so far are chemical fertilizer, pesticide and irrigation. The heavy reliance on such technologies and their application without consideration to the ecology have made a great concern for the environment. To minimize the adverse effects of modern agricultural technologies on human, domestic animals, other wild life and soil, there is a need to develop the attitude of those who are involved in handling and operating the agricultural technologies in contact with farmers.
