Farm Equipment and Technologies
With the rapid development of modern agriculture, farm tools and equipment have played an important role in increasing production and ensuring efficient resource use. Tillage is essential for preparing seedbeds, soil aeration, erosion prevention and there are efficient tools available for the same. During planting / sowing, improved tools help achieve uniformity in distribution of seeds/plants at desired depth and row spacing. Appropriate irrigation technology is necessary for proper growth and development of the plants and the same time conserves water. Damage of crops by pests, diseases and weeds can be prevented through use of biofertilizers and biopesticides and various tools are available for their application. Timely and good harvesting and post-harvest processing using appropriate tools results in high quality of grains which in turn increase their market value. There are efficient farm tools available to reduce the labour-intensive work throughout the growing season.
