The patterns of different cropping systems are highly variable—as diverse as are the crops themselves and the climates, habitats, levels of mechanization, and human customs under which crop production is undertaken. Depending on the part of the world, certain considerations will weigh more heavily than others. In one place primitive methods are appropriate, in another the system is highly mecha...

Smallholding farms spread throughout the world, and they consider cornerstone of agriculture production in Africa Asia. Smallholder produce over 80 % food used most developing countries. However, smallholder farmers face many problems, including lack appropriate mechanization (AM), labor shortage, increase wages, climate change, poor access to modern inputs, credit, markets. The paper focuses o...

an important factor in sustainable agriculture and economic management is to calculate areas under different crops that the inputs of agriculture connect to this topic. planning of agricultural mechanization, fertilizer and pesticide requirements, pests and diseases control, estimates of agricultural production, income and tax and financial planning, all linked to the cultivated areas and estim...

This short paper has been written more as a position paper intended to stimulate discussion than as a research or experience description paper. 1. The traditional scenario of mechanization Since the 18th century humankind has reassigned to machines jobs previously performed by human beings and animals, and this process is well understood. Assume you have to harvest a huge field or to assemble t...

Most 'Concord' vineyards in Arkansas have been trained to the Umbrella Kniffin (UK) system and pruned to a 30+10 schedule. In the Geneva Double Curtain (GDC) training system (a 1.2 m divided double curtain "T" type trellis) shoots are positioned vertically toward the vineyard floor. Under northern conditions, this system allows better distribution of fruiting spurs, reduced shading of interior ...

in this paper the use of farm machinery in sugar beet farms in farsprovince was studied. the necessary data, with two-stage cluster sampling method in fasa, eghlid and darab cities on 2004- 2005 were collected. from 203 farmers selected for the study. 113 of them were in high level mechanization group and 90 of them were in low level mechanization group. in this study, the effect of farm machin...

Indian agriculture has witnessed a dearth in farm mechanization resulting inadequate production and productivity various parts of the country. Despite its need usefulness, is still far off reach small marginal farmers, who by virtue their poor economic condition are unable to acquire implements needed for timely operations. Custom hiring centers (CHC) reliable source bringing considerable chang...
