An Analytical Study of the Types of Implements used by Farmers in Mechanized Agriculture

Abstract

The mechanization of agriculture is defined in various ways. This involves the use of tools, implementations, and powered machines in agricultural operations. Agricultural mechanization necessitates the use of electricity to complete farm activities. Mechanical power, draught animal power, and human power are the three basic energy sources in agricultural mechanization. The earliest and most fundamental level of agricultural mechanization is human power. Hand tools and rudimentary implements are operated by human muscles. Animal power, on the other hand, use draught animal muscle to operate farm implements and machines. Mechanical power, on the other hand, is the most powerful type of power, and it is fueled and supported by technology. It is not reliant on muscular strength. Electricity, Hydropower, Solar energy, Wind energy, Internal combustion engines, and other agricultural energy sources are required in addition to muscle power for various farming operations, mobile or stationary processes. The use of these resources varies by country and is dependent on local circumstances, particularly their availability.
