Agricultural mechanization refers to the use of tools, implements, and machines to assist in agricultural production activities like land development, cultivation, harvesting, and on-farm processing. It includes human, animal, and mechanical power sources.
The document discusses three levels of agricultural mechanization - hand tool technology, draft animal technology, and mechanical power technology. It also outlines two models of mechanization based on land area to farmer ratios.
Potential benefits of mechanization include increased production, labor productivity, utilization of products and byproducts, reduced losses, added value, employment, import substitution, and export opportunities. However, the Philippines remains at a low level of mechanization compared to other Asian countries.
FARM POWER IN INDIA –
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.
Tillage is the agricultural preparation of soil by mechanical agitation of various types, such as digging, stirring, and overturning. This presentation will discuss different tillage operations and equipment used for the land preparation.
Primary & Secondary tillage Implements and their usesSazib akan
Tillage is the manipulation of the soil into a desired condition by mechanical means; tools are employed to achieve some desired effect (such as pulverization, cutting, or movement). cultivator. agricultural technology: Fallow system and tillage techniques. cereal farming: Seedbed preparation.
Human and Animal are one of the power sources that could be used in agricultural development. This presentation will has discussion and simple computations.
A farm machinery and/or implement can be defined as any type of machinery or implement that can be used in the process of agricultural production; it can be for crop production or animal production.

SALT is a diversified farming system which can be considered agroforestry since rows of permanent shrubs like coffee, cacao, citrus and other fruit trees are dispersed throughout the farm plot.
The strips not occupied by permanent crops, however, are planted alternately to cereals (corn, upland rice, sorghum, etc.) or other crops (sweet potato, melon, pineapple, castor bean, etc.) and legumes (soybean, mung bean, peanut, etc.).
Power Tiller is a walking tractor that is commonly used for soil cultivation. Power Tiller is the best choice for small & medium scale farmers. It helps to reduce animal and man power. It is a machine compiled with a powerful engine & designed to push forward or backward.
Power Tiller is a very capable machine to perform various operations in farm like rotary, puddler, leveler, trailers, plow disc & thresher. One of the most important functions of the Power Tiller is that it correctly seeds the crop to be planted and warms the soil before planting by burying the ruminant in it. Because of controlling weeds it helps to crops growth.
Nurseries provide the necessary control of moisture, light, soil, and predators and allow the production of healthy and hardy seedlings. Here are some steps to make the construction of a nursery and seedling culture more successful.

Livestock is critical to the survival of people all around the world. The seasonal feed scarcity due to the rainfall patterns of the country and the rapid urbanization results in a reduction of land for fodder production. Most smallholder dairy farmers in Ghana feed their dairy cattle on Napier grass and crop remains e.g. maize stovers, bean stalks, and banana leaves which are all poor-quality feeds. Sustainable fodder production technologies could be used as an alternative for producing fodder all year round. Hydroponics fodder production is one such technology. The goal of the study is to design and construct an Automatic hydroponics fodder sprouting machine to aid in producing low-cost fresh green nutritious fodder under a controlled environment to feed livestock such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chicken, ducks, turkey, and guinea fowls. The individual sub-control systems were mathematically modeled and built using MATHLAB and SIMULINK.

A survey on adoption levels of the existing soil nitrogen replenishing technologies amongst farmers in three counties in western Kenya was carried out in June 2011. Three farmer associations were Angurai Farmers Development Project (AFDEP), Bungoma Small-Scale Farmers Forum (BUSSFFO) and Mwangaza Farmer Group (MFAGRO). During the survey 223 farmers were interviewed with roughly a half of the households surveyed being members of farmer associations (FAs) and the other half being non-members, who acted as the control. Stratified random sampling technique was used. A repeated measures Analysis of Variance (RM – ANOVA) showed that various soil nitrogen replenishment technologies were adopted to various degrees, F (4.39, 855.43) =23.36, p<.001). The findings of this study indicated that the available technologies most extensively used in the study area were the use of inorganic fertilisers (DAP), planting of improved legumes processing, Lab lab, Push Pull, and Super 2 Package. In second place, were technologies such as seed inoculation, foliar feed use, top dressing fertiliser (CAN) and use of improved legumes. The least used technologies were found to be Ua Kayongo (IR seed), MBILI intercropping, fortified compost, and use of Farm yard manure and liming. The results also indicated that generally, adoption of technologies was higher amongst farmer association members compared with non-members regardless of the county. Bungoma County had significantly highest level of technology adoption level compared to both Busia and Vihiga. Adoption of soil technologies was also found to be positively correlated with farmers’ educational level but inversely related with their age.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

2. What is agricultural mechanization?
• Agricultural mechanization is a system of production of food and fiber that embraces
the use of tools, implement and machines for agricultural land development, production,
harvesting, and on-farm processing. It includes three main power sources: human,
animal and mechanical. As a discipline, agricultural mechanization covers the
manufacture, distribution, and utilization of tools, implements, and machines. -- FAO
definition
• Agricultural mechanization is the application of animal and machine power to multiply
man’s ability to perform production operations. Mechanization permits man to multiply his
production by the use of animal or fuel power. Mechanization allows the performance of
tasks efficiently. - Loyd Johnson, 1964.

4. Models of mechanization
• High land area to farmer ratio (example: USA)
Motivated into increasing the level of mechanization in order to cultivate large agricultural
lands with limited available manpower and take advantage of favorable agricultural
commodity prices.
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia follow the USA model.
• Low land area to farmer ratio (example: Japan)
Motivated into increasing the level of mechanization in order to increase yields and cropping
intensities to meet the growing demands for food and agricultural raw materials.
South Korea, China, Taiwan, Sri Lanka and the Philippines follow the Japanese model.

The level of mechanization in the Philippines remains low compared to other Asian
countries.
From 1968 to 1990, Japan’s mechanization level had increased from 3 to 7 hp/ha,
Korea from 0.435 to 4.11 hp/ha while the Philippines had increased only from 0.198
to 0.52 hp/ha.
It was also estimated that in 1968, of the total available power per unit area for
Philippines, contributions from human, animal and mechanical power were 36%,
52% and 12%, respectively. In 1990, human power accounts for 50% of the total
available power per unit area, while animal power decreased to 14% and
mechanical power increased to 35% (Ozaki and McColly, 1968 and Rahman 1994
as cited in Gavino et al 2005).
