Farm mechanization is a basic need in extensive agriculture production
system. It plays a key role in timeliness of farm operations, quality of work and
enhanced agricultural production. The agricultural production is observing erratic
yield variations and unpredicted negative impacts in the wake of climate changes
globally. In view of present challenges throughout the production system, the
future growth has to come from the acceleration in the rate of farm
mechanization. The farm mechanization level in India is 40 % with average 2.24
kW/ha farm power availability. On the other hand, Punjab has reached 4.4 kW/ha
whereas in the hills of Uttarakhand, it is 1.05 kW/ha. The present mechanization is
distinctly different throughout the country and still low to cope up with climatic
variations in the agricultural sector as well as to enhance input use efciency of
natural resources. In addition to this, the crop residue is largely responsible for the
degradation of climate during the peak season of wheat sowing due to the
burning of crop residue. This chapter encapsules overall mechanization practices
and the potential of some of the frontier farm machinery used in the various farm
operations right from seedbed preparation to threshing and processing through
enhanced input use efciency for attaining climate-smart agriculture. Also, it
discusses the possible strategies to increase climate-smart farm mechanization in
the area of agricultural production system in every possible way.
