This document discusses farm mechanization and its benefits. It begins by defining mechanized agriculture as using machinery to increase farm worker productivity. It then lists two major ways mechanization increases production: through timely operations and good quality work. It continues by explaining how mechanization reduces labor drudgery and allows more efficient use of resources. The document outlines the scope of farm mechanization in India and different types of farm implements before detailing the individual benefits mechanization provides, such as increased yields and economic returns. It concludes by discussing custom hiring centers which provide machinery access to small farmers.

FARM MECHANIZATION 1

2. FARM MECHANIZATION
Mechanized agriculture is the process
of using agricultural machinery to
mechanize the work of agriculture
for greatly increasing farm worker
productivity.

3.  The effective mechanization contributes to increase production in two
major ways:
1. Timeliness of operation
2. Good quality of work.
3

4.  Population of the country is increasing day by day.
 In multiple cropping system, generally high yielding variety of seeds
are sown, so farm operations are required to be completed in limited
time with economy and efficiency.
 Farm mechanization reduces drudgery (boredom, monotony) of labor
to a great extent.

5.  A large number of female worker and children work on farms
unwillingly due to shortage of power. From the human stand
point, It is not desirable to engage females and children for
arduous farm work.

6. A ploughman has to walk about 66 km on foot while
ploughing one hectare of land once by bullocks having
15 cm. furrow width.

7. SCOPE OF FARM MECHANIZATION
 Improved irrigation facility in
the area
 Introduction of high
yielding varieties of seeds
 Introduction of high dose of
fertilizers and pesticides for
different crops
 Introduction of new crops in different parts of the country

8.  If machines are used the following relief may be expected.
 A farmer and his animals can be relieved of hard work.
 He will do his job with machine better and quicker
 He will get more leisure and devote more time to other work
 He will earn better living and enjoy life in nice manner

9. DIFFERENT TYPE OF IMPLEMENTS
 DRONE
 POWER WEEDER
 CONO WEEDER
 REPAR
 TROCTOR OPERATED REPAR
 ZERO TILLAGE

16.  The proper utilization of basic inputs like water, seed and fertilizer will
be possible only when proper equipment's are used.
1. The seeds and fertilizer should be placed at a certain depth with
respect to each other for the optimum interactions of the two which is
possible by a seed drill.
2. Seed bed should be prepared to require tilth for better crops.
16

17. 3. The field should have uniform slope for better irrigation and
drainage.
4. There are certain operations which are rather difficult to be
performed by animal power and human labor such as:
 Deep ploughing in case of deep rooted crops
 Killing the pernicious weeds by deep tillage operation
 Levelling of uneven land
 Land reclamation
 Application of insecticides during epidemic seasons

18. BENEFITS OF FARM MECHANIZATION
 Timeliness of operation
 Precision of operation
 Improvement of work environment
 Improvement of safety
 Reduction of drudgery of labor
 Reduction of loss of crops and food products.
 Increased productivity of land
 Increased economic return to farmer
 Improved dignity of farmer
 Progress and prosperity in rural areas
18

19. CUSTOM HIRING CENTERS
 Custom Hiring Centre (CHC) are basically a unit comprising a set of farm
machinery, implements and equipment meant for custom hiring by
farmers.
 The main objective of CHC is to supply of farm implements to small,
marginal and poor farmers at subsidized rates on hire.
 This enables the small and marginal farmers to take up farm operation on
time.
19

20. ADVANTAGES OF CHC
 Provides access to small and marginal farmers to costly farm machinery.
 Reduces drudgery
 Reduction in cost of cultivation
 Work opportunities to skilled labour
 Increase in cropping intensity wherever feasible
 Efficiency in use of resources and applied inputs
 Crop diversification
 Timely production
 Provides farm advisories
 Revenue generation is plagued back to the society
