The application of machines and better power sources to enhance
agricultural production has been one of the most significant
developments in agriculture. Mechanization of agriculture is needed
for development and optimal utilization of natural resources
leading to higher productivity and reduced cost of production for
greater profitability, economic competitiveness and sustainability.
Mechanization also imparts capacity to the farmers to carry out
farm operations with dignity, comfort and freedom from drudgery,
making the farming agreeable vocation for educated youth as well.
It helps the farmers to achieve timeliness in farm operations and
apply costly input with reduced quantity for better efficacy and
efficiency. Small and marginal farmers can now make use of high
capacity agricultural machines on custom hire basis. The results of
this development can be seen in many aspects such as increase in
productivity and production per worker, precision in application of
crop inputs, increase in cropping intensity due to timeliness of
operations, increase in the quality of produce, reduction in grain
losses and increase in farm employment. Mechanization is
particularly advantageous when it can minimize a high peak labour
demand that occurs over a relatively short period of time each
year. Mechanization also encourages better management of farm
inputs, improvement in working conditions and performance of jobs
that would otherwise be difficult by hand. It also helps in
reducing the cost of production. This book 'Mechanization of
Cultivated Crops' covers the farm tools and equipment used in
different operations such as land development, tillage,
seeding/planting, interculture, fertilizer application, plant
protection, harvesting and threshing and residue management. The
book can be referred as a textbook for the under graduate students
of agriculture and under graduate and post graduate students of
agricultural engineering.
