Agriculture contributes most of the world’s food and materials like cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products also provide wood for building and paper products. Over the centuries, the growth of agriculture added to the rise of cultures.
Food stock must keep pace with community growth and delivery methods that made an enormous agricultural and political provocation and to deal with them Agri machinery are introduced. If we talk about the changes in these machinery then here are some key points that added with time in agriculture history.
- Improved manual tools.
- Improved animal-drawn implements.
- Tractor worked implements.
- Types of equipment like threshers, spraying pumps, sprayers, dusters, etc.
If we talk about the machinery that helps in improving agriculture production then here is the list.
- Tillage Equipment
- Sowing Equipment
- Planting Equipment
- Plant Protection Equipment
- Harvesting And Threshing Equipment
- Post-Harvest Machinery
Let's explorer them one by one.
Tillage Equipment
Tillage equipment used in the construction of the soil for planting work by keeping it loose and free from weeds so that the plants can grow better. Tillage equipment can be classified into three types as per their purposes of use.
(1) Prepare a suitable seedbed,
(2) Destroy competitive weeds
(3) Improve the health of the soil.
To complete the tillage work types of agricultural machinery are used like a plough, rotavator, cultivator, tractor tiller etc. All of these tools are powered by Farm tractor.
Sowing Equipment
Seed germination and emergence are one of the most important factors that affect the productions. Different types of methods used to complete sowing work like Broad-casting, Dibbling, Seed dropping behind the plough etc. There are types of seeder machines that can do this work in time.
Planting Equipment
Scattering seed by hand over loosened soil and capping them with harrow was used in the 19th century but after the introduction of the row-crop planter, things are changed. Here are some main types of planter used in planting work like precision planters (row crop), grain drills, broadcasters, potato planters, vegetable planters etc.
Plant Protection Equipment
Pests and disease occurrence on the crops/plants are to be defeated with the poisonous chemicals and to spread them plant protection equipment used as many chemicals utilised for plant protection can't be touched by human operators directly. Spraying and dusting equipment like power dusters, Hydraulic sprayer, boom sprayer are used in plant protection work.
Harvesting And Threshing Equipment
Harvesting and Threshing include the cutting, plucking digging or a combination of these operations for removing the crop from under the earth or above the ground and picking the useful part of fruits from plants. These work can be done with the manually operated tool, animal-drawn machine and mechanically operated machine. Now the combine harvester is one of the most used agricultural machinery to complete the harvesting task.
Post-Harvest Machinery
The post-harvesting work includes processing methods like threshing, winnowing, brushing, drying, grading, polishing, milling etc. These power thresher, Threshing benches, grain cleaning, mini dhal mill.
