Agricultural Machinery Industry

Agricultural machinery is machinery used in the operation of an agricultural area or farm. Agricultural mechanization is a sine qua non to remove drudgery, improve working comfort, enhance timeliness, reduce losses and increase production and productivity. Accordingly, use of better power viz., tractors and different types of agricultural machines in agriculture has risen sharply on farms to boost food and fibre production. An agricultural drainage system is a system by which water is drained on or in the soil to enhance agricultural production of crops. It may involve any combination of storm water control, erosion control, and water table control. The agricultural machinery industry or agricultural engineering industry is the part of the industry that produces and maintain tractors, agricultural machinery and agricultural implements used in farming or other agriculture. This branch is considered to be part of the machinery industry. In information technology, an application is a computer programme designed to help people perform an activity. An application thus differs from an operating system (which runs a computer), a utility (which performs maintenance or general-purpose chores), and a programming language (with which computer programmes are created). Depending on the activity for which it was designed, an application can manipulate text, numbers, graphics, or a combination of these elements. Energy is the primary and most universal measure of all kinds of work by human beings and nature. Everything what happens in the world is the expression of flow of energy in one of it's form. There are a number of different forms of energy available in nature. The different forms of energy used for agriculture (farm power) in India are Human energy (human power), Animal energy (animal power), Mechanical energy (mechanical power such as Tractors, Power tillers, Self-propelled combines, Oil engines), Electrical energy (electrical power), and Renewable energy (Biomass, Solar energy and Wind energy). This book will also cater to the needs of tractor and agricultural implement manufacturing industries, consultants, agricultural universities/colleges as a valuable reference for quality improvement and standardization Contents: Agricultural Machinery Agricultural Power in Farm Farm Machinery and Power in Agriculture Artificial of Drainage Systems Modern Agricultural Science Micro Catchment in Agriculture Dryland Technologies in Agriculture Computer Application Software Uses in Agricultural Industry.
