| Abstract/Description: | Agricultural mechanization helps in increasing production, productivity and profitability by ensuring timely farm operation, and increasing utilization efficiency of agricultural inputs. Besides it reduces drudgery and improves quality of rural life. The average farm power density in India is 1 kWha-1. Power availability during crucial period of operations causes limitation in timeliness. Required power density achieve timeliness of operations is estimated as 3.75 kWha-1. Earlier, use of improved manual and animal operated agricultural machinery and small pump sets was prevailing. Later on, there has been a shift towards use of mechanical and electrical power increasing the size, and capacity. Now, about Rs. 50,000 crore annually (Rs. 30,000 crore for tractors, power tillers, combines, pump sets and different types of production machinery and Rs. 20,000 crore for post harvest machinery) is invested as against the annual investment of about Rs. 12,000 crore in fertilizers, Rs. 10,000 crore in HYV and Rs. 2,000 crores in plant protection chemicals.(Powar,2006) |
