LEVEL OF MECHANIZATION

(Rice and Corn Production)

AGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATION Agricultural mechanization embraces the manufacture, distribution and operation of tools, implements and machines for land development, agricultural production and primary post production processes. Agricultural mechanization aims to: (1) enable farming operations to be done efficiently; (2) improve the timeliness of operations; (3) minimize drudgery; (4) reduce costs and crop losses; and (5) increase cropping intensity, thereby increasing land and labour productivity.
