| dc.description.abstract | Introducing the second Indian Green Revolution to full fill our future food requirements to benefit the small, medium and large size farms needs farm mechanization. The average cropping intensity is 182% in 18 agricultural districts of West Bengal, which is 33.8% higher than the country average. Farm mechanization enhances the production and productivity of different crops due to timeliness of operations, better quality of operations and precision in the application of the inputs. A number of suitable improved tools, implements and machinery were identified, developed and tested by IIT Kharagpur to bridge the existing mechanization gap for major cropping patterns of West Bengal. The popular and effective machinery for paddy and potato cultivation in the State has been in use among the farmers. Front line demonstration and custom hiring services of IIT Kharagpur showed that farmers were more interested in self propelled paddy transplanter, cono weeder, vertical conveyer reaper and flow through paddy thresher in paddy crop and semiautomatic and automatic potato planter and potato digger in potato. | en_US |
