Urbanization and low productivity are real threats to the sustainability of organic farming. The adoption of farm machinery plays a vital role in overcoming these threats to ensure a sustainable and more profitable organic farming model. Farm machinery can also increase farmland yield and reduce the need for labor, although the requirement of significant capital investment often prevents small farmers from buying machinery. There is an increased need to comprehend all relevant elements associated with farming machinery procurement and service delivery. In this article, we provide insight into

Indian agriculture has been evolving significantly, with one notable transformation being the shift from muscle power to mechanical power. Thus farm mechanization has a direct impact on crop productivity. However, small and marginal farmers often face financial constraints that prevent them from acquiring the necessary machinery. Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs) offer a viable solution by providing access to farm machinery at affordable rates. Custom hiring represents a farm machinery sharing practice, enabling farmers to utilize essential equipment without the burden of ownership costs. But there

Abstract:

This study analyses the management of machinery on farms growing sorghum as a drought-tolerant crop, and feedstock for renewable energy production, in addition to the cereals and oilseeds in the classical crop rotation, considering not only field operations but also logistical tasks and machinery usage costs. Furthermore, the machine operation characteristics specific to different farm-level production technologies have also been taken into account. It can be concluded that the difference between the costs of the small and the large-scale farm size is significant. This all can be explained wit

Abstract:

Agriculture plays an important and significant role in the development of a country. The Indian economy has undergone a tremendous change from agriculture dominance to non-agriculture dominance, as it is reflected in the decline in the share of agriculture in total income from 55 per cent in 1950-51 to 18.30 per cent in 2022-23. Farm mechanization holds substantial scope and importance in an agricultural landscape. It involves the integration of modern machinery and technology into various farming processes, ranging from initial soil preparation to the final harvest. In this regard, the study

Abstract:

There is a difference of 45% to 55% between the attainable yield and the potential yield of rice. This gap may be due to insufficient inputs and poor mechanization status. In this regard, agricultural mechanization is of the utmost importance to obtain satisfactory yield. This study was conducted to determine mechanization level, power per unit area, probit regression, and challenges faced by farmers to understand the mechanization status in rice cultivation. For this, 98 households in the Pyuthan municipality of Pyuthan district and 87 households in the Bhimdutta municipality of Kanchanpur di

An environmentally-friendly solar charging station has been successfully designed, manufactured and tested as a charging solution for electric-powered agricultural machinery (SoltarinE). Two principal methodologies are employed: the design method and the performance test method. In principle, solar panels equipped with a solar tracker system, assisted by lightdependent resistor (LDR) light sensors and actuators, are capable of absorbing the optimum solar intensity. Subsequently, the conversion of solar intensity into chemical energy is employed to charge the batteries of electrically powered a

Nowadays, the transition from conventional agriculture to modernization requires a touch of technology, one of which is the Electrifying Agriculture program. Farmers are switching to electricity-based agricultural tools and machinery from previously using fossil fuel machines, which are expensive and damaging to the environment. However, the vast agricultural area will generally experience electricity network constraints due to the distance between the location and settlements. Making an independent power network will incur very large costs, especially the purchase of very long cables. In addi

At present, the professionals in the industry and farming still miss comparative technical data indicating the potential of agricultural vehicles and mobile machinery to inflict compaction damage upon the cultivated soil. Harmful compaction means especially the increase of soil bulk density above a critical level required for efficient plant production. In general, it seems reasonable to restrict the excessive soil compaction by loaded wheels starting from the design of farm power and machinery, which means to provide technical data on the compaction potential of tyres.
