Agricultural Engineering - Introduction



Farm Power is an essential input in agriculture for timely field operations for increasing production and productivity of land. Farm power is used for operating different types of machinery like tillage, planting, plant protection, harvesting and threshing machinery and other stationary jobs like operating irrigation equipment, threshers/ shellers / cleaners/ graders, etc. 







Sources of Farm Power

 

There are different sources of farm power available in India which are classified as 

1. Human power 

2. Animal power 

3. Mechanical power (Tractors + Power tillers + Oil engines) 

4. Electrical power 

5. Renewable energy (Biogas + Solar energy + Wind energy)

Scope of Farm Mechanization




 Improved irrigation facilities, introduction of high yielding varieties. use of higher doses of fertilizers and pesticides have increased the scope for greater farm mechanization Farm mechanization helps for proper utilization of basic inputs like water, seed and fertilizer, optimum placement of the seed and fertilizer, ploughing, removal of weeds, leveling of uneven land and land reclamation. If machines are used farmer and his animals are relieved of hard work. With the support of machines farmer can do his job better and quicker. He will get more leisure and devote his time to other works. He can earn better living.
