"The mechanical structures and devices used in farming or other agriculture."
Employing machinery and technology to increase efficiency and productivity in mixed farming.
Agricultural engineering: The study of machines used in agriculture, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows.
Farm mechanization: The process of implementing machines and equipment in agricultural production to increase efficiency, productivity and reduce labor needs.
Crop production management: The science of growing crops efficiently while optimizing resource use and minimizing environmental impact.
Field preparation and cultivation techniques: Techniques for preparing fields for crop planting and cultivation, including methods of plowing, harrowing, and disking.
Irrigation management: Techniques for managing water resources in agriculture, including irrigation systems, water storage systems, and water conservation methods.
Livestock management: The study of animal husbandry, the care, and management of domestic animals, including feeding, health, and breeding.
Agricultural technology: The use of technology in agriculture, including precision agriculture, genetic engineering, and remote sensing.
Soil science: The study of soil characteristics and properties, including soil fertility, soil structure, and soil health.
Rural infrastructure planning: Planning for the development of rural infrastructure, including transport systems, communication systems, and power supply.
Food processing and preservation: Techniques for processing and preserving food products, including canning, freezing, and dehydrating.
Economic analysis of mechanization: The study of cost-benefit analysis of using machines in farming.
Human resources management: Managing human resources in agriculture, including recruiting, training, and retaining farm workers.
Agricultural education: The study of agricultural practices and principles, including agribusiness, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
Pesticide management: The study of pest management in agriculture, including the use of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides.
Sustainable agriculture: The practice of agriculture with consideration for environmental, social, and economic impacts, including organic agriculture, agroecology, and permaculture.
Tractor-based mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of tractors to perform tasks such as plowing, planting, and harvesting crops.
Animal-based mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of animals such as horses or oxen to perform tasks such as plowing, tilling, and cultivating the land.
Irrigation mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of irrigation systems such as sprinklers or drip irrigation to water crops.
Harvest mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as harvesters, threshers, and combines to gather and process crops.
Fertilizer and Chemical Application mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as fertilizer applicators and pesticide sprayers to apply fertilizers or chemicals to crops.
Planting mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as planters, seed drills, and transplanters to plant crops.
Livestock mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as milking machines, feeders, and waterers to assist in the care and management of livestock.
Precision agriculture mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of technology such as GPS and sensors to optimize crop production and manage resources.
Greenhouse mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as automated watering and climate control systems to manage plant growth in greenhouses.
Aquaculture mechanization: This type of mechanization involves the use of machines such as automatic feeders and water filtration systems to farm fish and other aquatic animals.
"There are many types of such equipment, from hand tools and power tools to tractors and the countless kinds of farm implements."
"Diverse arrays of equipment are used in both organic and nonorganic farming."
"Agricultural machinery is an indispensable part of how the world is fed."
"Agricultural machinery can be regarded as part of wider agricultural automation technologies, which includes the more advanced digital equipment and robotics."
"Agricultural robots have the potential to automate the three key steps involved in any agricultural operation (diagnosis, decision-making, and performing)."
"Conventional motorized machinery is used principally to automate only the performing step."
"Diagnosis and decision-making are conducted by humans based on observations and experience."
"Especially since the advent of mechanized agriculture, agricultural machinery is an indispensable part of how the world is fed."
