Abstract:

In many developing countries like Pakistan, most research work on farm mechanisation has focused especially on farm labour displacement and income effects. These studies measure only the micro or direct effect of mechanisation on a specific farm unit, area or locality. They lack macro level impact of technologies that emerge from lin~ages between farm and non-farm sectors and between farm and the household: The importance of these production anq consumption linkages in agricultural growth has been emphasised [Hazel and Roell (1983); Mellor and Lele (1973); Mellor (1976); Yotopoulos and Nugent (1976)]. The growth linkages between farm and non-farm economy are primarily due to increases in household consumption expenditures. Increases in household consumption expenditure is directly related to escalation in income. Leontiefs (1951, 1966) inpu-output system provides a framework measure the overall effect of farm mechanisation employment an income. King and Byerlee (1977) measured links between changes income distribution and its effect on employment. Rangarajan (1982); Hazel an Roell (1983) showed that agricultural growth has substantial effects on other sectors economy. Ahammed and Herdt (1983 1985) also used the input-output system. The present study is basically an adoption of Ahammed and Herdt's (1983) model. A system of linear homogenous equations which permits solutions by simple matrix inversion operations hsa been used.

Abstract:

<p>This study analysed the effect of farm mechanisation on productivity of rice farms in southern Ghana. The empirical results of the stochastic frontier model of primary data solicited from 360 rice farmers in southern Ghana revealed that land size cultivated, agrochemical expenditure, tillage intensity, threshing intensity, education and transportation intensity were significant factors that positively influenced partial factor productivity with respect to mechanisation. On the other hand, reaping intensity, over use of fertilizers, and age of farmers negatively influenced partial factor productivity with respect to mechanisation. These results have implications for capacity building and government support to increase productivity on rice farms.</p>

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to examine the role of tractor use in agricultural mechanisation, explore the prospects of tractor use in Nigeria and identify the challenges of tractor use in agriculture in Nigeria. The study adopted literature review; whereby secondary data have been used. The assumption of the study was that improvement in farming is directly connected with improvement in farmer’s income and livelihood. Also, that mechanised agriculture is necessary for productivity, and by implication increases profit in farm production. Tractor is one of the major farm tools that enhance mechanisation in agriculture. Therefore, incorporating the mechanisation, notably tractor is essential because it affects the farmer’s livelihoods and living conditions. The finding of the study indicated that tractor plays significant role as it is established that crop-production increased through tractor use, which increased the farmers’ income, giving room for increased production capacity thereby enabling the farmers to settle some of their outstanding debts. The study also found that tractor has prospect in Nigeria because recent development in economic diversification which emphasised agribusiness in the country portends movement towards application of intensive farm labour. However, there are some noticeable challenges associated with tractor use in Nigeria. One of these challenges is un-affordability because tractor use is very costly. Other challenges are under-utilisation, lackof knowledgeable personnel to manage the tool, lack of spare parts; and government-run tractor hire schemes are not effective because they are in a state of collapse. The study therefore concluded that tractor use is a necessary evil in Nigeria, because despite its displacement tendency and cost, the increasing population of Nigeria calls for investing in mechanised agriculture for increasing productivity, improving farmers’ income and livelihood, and above all achieving food security. Key words: agricultural mechanisation, productivity, Nigeria, tractor

Abstract:

The contribution of agriculture in GDP of India is dramatically reduced though a large number of people are associated with this occupation. To increase the GDP contribution of agriculture and to raise the income of farmers, the use of modern machineries is an utmost necessity. The aim of this study is to identify the status of mechanisation of agriculture at Rampurhat: I block in Birbhum district to assess the impact of modern machineries on farming and livelihood status of farmers and agricultural labourers. To reduce the cost of agricultural production, farmers resort to farm mechanisation without changing the overall cultivation practice in this area. This region is in a transitional stage of modernisation of agriculture. This research also investigates and discusses the problems associated with the prospects of mechanisation of agriculture in this area.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to evaluate the impact of mechanisation in bengalgram cultivation in northern dry zone of Karnataka. The study was based on primary data, obtained through personal interview method using well-structured and pre-tested schedules. The total sample size was 60. The data pertained to the year 2017-18. The budgeting technique and output decomposition model were used to evaluate the impact of mechanization. Extent of reduction in human labour and bullock labour was 18.30 man days and 13.00 pair days by adopting mechanization. The expenditure of non-mechanised farmers was Rs. 4,497.95 higher than mechanised farmers in cultivating bengalgram. The mechanised farms used slightly fewer quantities of inputs compared to non-mechanised farms. Yield was observed to be higher in mechanised farms (9.49 q/ha). While the non-mechanised farmers incurred loss due to higher cost of cultivation. The cost of cultivation was Rs. 124.71 higher than gross return. The output decomposition model revealed that mechanised farms produced 47.23 per cent higher income in bengalgram than that in non-mechanised farms. The mechanisation alone contributed 50.10 per cent increase in income, while fewer labour use of inputs depressed the income marginally.

Abstract:

This article examines three linked assumptions relating to English agriculture between 1850 and 1914. First, that the north devoted its energies to industrialisation. Second, that mechanisation made steady progress, based largely on southern initiatives. Third, that this took farming towards large, capital-intensive and steam-powered operations. This conventional wisdom is inherently weak given the high reputation of Northumbrian farming in 1850, its tight, expensive labour markets and easy access to coal, iron and engineering expertise, which contrasts with the south's cheap, plentiful labour, no coal and few engineering firms. A database of all implements advertised in a thousand farm sales from the relevant period in Northumberland, Durham and northern North Yorkshire reveals a regional agriculture that prospered by developing the traditional and highly effective mix of carts, harrows and ploughs. Mechanisation occurred very unevenly across departments, with harvesting very atypical. Large farms were neither more inherently machine-oriented than small ones, nor better users of machinery. Farmers are revealed as pragmatic about mechanisation, and not conservative when it paid. Steam played little part, whereas horses remained an ideal power source for the farming that suited these times.

"USE OF PEAT AS LITTER FOR MILKING COWS I* Peltola Work Efficiency Association, Finland This study compared the advandages and disadvandages of peat, straw and sawdust for use as litter. The way in which peat is used, the amounts used and the effect of the litter on the structural parts of the tying-stall shed and an the labour requirement were investigated, and the quality of milk, the incidents of mastitis and the value of the manure were studied. The results show that peat absorbs urine and binds airmonia better than the other litters tested. Peat manure contains more than the average amounts of nitrogen and magnesium, and the nutriens are in the form that is more readily utilised by plants. The anmonia contents of the cowshed air were slightly lower with peat litter than with either straw or sawdust. The difficulty in peat was in handling it. There were no significant differences between the three litters in terms of the labour required. On the other hand, peat was more difficult to store during the cold winter because it tended to freeze. Urine separation systems were easily blocked by peat. The dust content of the cowshed air rose when peat was used. The litter had no affect on the state of health of the animals or on the quality of the milk. These factors are affected more by conditions on the farm in question. Peat was found to be suitable for use as litter. Flexible use of peat requires storage, spreading method and manure removal be designed specifically for peat. These factors are being studied in the final part of the work, which is still in progress. 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this three year joint study was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of peat, straw and sawdust for litter as comprehensively as possible. In Finland straw is used on 67% of farms, sawdust on 25% and peat on 3% of dairy farms. Only about 3% of farms use no litter at all. Itie use of peat as litter was compared with sawdust and straw on 15 dairy farms during the indoor feeding period of 1983- 84. For the first 3 months 5 farms used straw as litter, 5 used sawdust and 5 peat. At the end of this period all the farms changed over to peat litter. All the cowsheds had tying-stalls, from which the manure was removed in solid form. The use of peat as litter was studied in Finland in the 1930s and 40s. Today, peat is harvested mechanically by means of a milling cutter, which creates fine particle peat. Cowsheds have also changed with respect to the use of peat with the mechanisation of manure removal. At the same time workers are now demanding better working conditions."

Abstract:

Organic farming is part of the national economy where renewable natural resources are used in a sustainable and prudent way in the production process, and therefore the production of primary products is environmentally friendly. Latvia has high potential for growth on the basis of the EU as a whole – in 2016, the area of organically certified territories totalled 270.73 thousand hectares, or about 11% of the total agricultural land area, which was the fifth highest indicator among the EU Member States. The aim of the research is to analyse the availability of support tools for the organic farming sector and ways to improve their use efficiency. The available support tools contribute to increase in the number of organic farms and in the organic agricultural area as well as increase in productivity and a higher level of mechanisation. The development of organic processing and the provision of a complex production cycle are less important. Financial support for organic farming partially compensates for the loss of profits, but it does not include support measures directly addressing the problems faced by farmers – the availability of organic seed, certification fees, the availability of animal breeds and public awareness.
