Farm Machinery and Power. -Lecture Notes for Agriculture Students

      Аннотация: Farm machinery plays a prominent role in the world of agriculture in a wide range of ways. Farm machinery is any equipment that farmers use to till, plant, cultivate, harvest or feed crops, including tractors, plows, disks, planters, wagons and combines. There is an optimum time for performing critical farming operations such as planting and harvesting. Crop yields tend to be highest when these critical operations are done closest to the optimum time. Farmers with high-capacity machines can perform the critical operations quickly and thus accomplish them close to the optimum time. Mechanization can also improve the quality of farm operations. It is very pertinent to inculcate basic knowledge about various farm machines among the undergraduate students. This book on Farm Machinery & Power has been made particularly to meet the course requirement of the B.Sc. (Ag) students as per the latest syllabus recommended by the ICAR.
