Abstract: Our nation is a major economic player, providing a significant source of revenue for more than half of India’s population. The country’s financial sector relies on rural activities that play a crucial role in the public’s well-being. The region selected for the review is Kanchipuram Locale in Tamil Nadu, which heavily relies on agricultural income from various crops. The contribution of farming to the economy, as well as the monetary state of the ranchers, has been overlooked in this period of innovation. With 47% of the population working in agriculture, it is the most common occupation. Paddy is the major crop developed in the Kanchipuram district. Other important crops include Millets like ragi, Maize, Cumbu, and samai; pulses like Black gram, Green gram, Red gram, horse gram, and cowpea; oilseeds like groundnut, Gingelly, sunflower, and Castor; and sugarcane. Brinjal and Watermelon Farmers started using plastic mulching, which yields a 3-4% profit in the Kanchipuram district. This assessment aims to study the major crops of Kanchipuram district’s agricultural sector in various climatic environments, including Navarai, Samba, and Sornawari. However, agricultural pollution has already begun as a result of contemporary farm practices, such as the use of plastic mulching. Comparisons between organic mulching and plastic mulching materials are challenging, as outcomes depend on the selected strategy, growth techniques, and environmental factors. Due to the current agricultural byproducts like plastic mulching, this process promotes damage to the ecology, land, and environment. To overcome agricultural pollution, organic mulching and greenhouse technology are suggested.
