1. Role, Status And Constraints Of
Laser Land Leveler In Agriculture
By: Vishal Kumar (R2032238)
2. Introduction
Laser land leveling is leveling the field within certain degree of desired slope
using a guided laser beam through out the field.
The concept of a laser level has been around since at least the early 1970s.
The original spinning-mirror design laser plane and line level was patented by
the late 1980s.
The compact lens-based laser line level was patented in the late 1990s.
3. These levelers are implements consisting of a blade acting as a small bucket for
shifting the soil from higher to the low-lying positions.
Land levelling is a precursor to good agronomic, soil, and crop management
practices.
7. Reduction in time and water for irrigation
Uniform distribution of water
Uniform moisture environment for crops
Lesser weeds in the field
Uniformity in crop maturity
Reduced seed rate, fertilizers, chemicals and fuel requirements
Good germination and growth of crop

up to 50%
Benefits of

leveling
9. High cost of the
equipment/laser instrument
Needs training to the
operator to set/adjust laser
and operate the tractor
More efficient for regularly
sized and shaped field
Few custom operators
Limitations
10. Conclusion
The change in our vision of future agriculture in relation to food and nutritional
security, environmental safety and globalization of markets demands improving
resource-use efficiency considerably to reach the desired growth levels in food
production and agricultural productivity. Laser leveling is evidently one of the
ways by which we can address these issues to a great extent.
