Description Not Available
Earlier efforts under various national programmes in the area of farm
mechanization have registered around 15 - 20% higher productivity in various crops
at field level apart from 30% savings in the cost of cultivation. This is because of
timeliness of selective agricultural operations in addition to the precision use of inputs.
However, it is pertinent to note that there is a wide gap in technology absorption
capacity across various farm categories and farming systems. Inspite of government
departments support under various schemes, the small and marginal farm holders
are unable to take the advantage, once they are withdrawn. Farmers owning less than
2 ha of land are not finding viability of owning costly farm implements and machinery
as they are capital intensive. Periodic maintenance of the costly equipment followed
by need based repairs are posing a big problem to the unskilled farming community
because of which the individual ownership is found to be non-viable.
