1. Transforming agriculture through innovative farm mechanization

2. Agriculture scenario in India
Agriculture and allied sectors contributes approximately 14 percent to GDP and 49.6 percent of labor force.
Use of proper equipment can increase farm productivity by upto 30 % and reduce the input cost by 20%.
By the year 2050 annual food grain production would need to grow 333 million tones from the level of 257 million tones recorded in 2014.
India with a mechanization level between 40 to 45 percent , lags in comparison to other BRIC countries such as Brazil & China.
Tractor accounts for most of farm mechanization in India . Country is also the largest market in world for tractors - leading to more of tractorization and less of mechanization.
Innovation is intrinsic to agriculture. India presents unique opportunities with its small land holdings, variety of climatic zones and different soil types across different regions.

3. Latest innovative technology in agriculture
Drone in Agriculture use
Pesticide & nutrient management
Field survey and monitoring
Soil & crop health check up through sensor enabled drones
Field mapping

4. Precision Farming Tools: Global Positioning System (GPS)
Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS is widely available in the agricultural community and its potential is growing. Farm uses include mapping yields , fertilizer & pesticide application, field mapping for records and insurance purposes

5. Areas of farming where innovation in mechanization is helping to transform the traditional methods and shaping the future of agriculture .
Tillage
Landscaping
Seeding & plantation
Crop protection
Harvesting
Post harvester

6. Innovative implements in tillage
High speed harrow :
New innovative harrows with very high speed of tillage (upto 20 kmph instead of traditional harrows speed of upto 6 kmph).
Maintenance free agri hubs specially designed for these application
Better straw chopping due to high speed of operation
Modular design help in reducing size based on tractor availability
Hydraulic reversible mb plough
These can provide deep tillage upto 12 to 18 inch and also soil inversion in single action
Fast and universal action in all kind of soils
Maintains field level .

7. Innovative implements in landscaping
Laser technology
Laser guided land leveller:
Tractor operated these are very high precision implements which makes field level . Lever automatically adjusts up & down based on laser guide to make ground plane or required slope .

8. Innovative implements in seeding & plantation
High precision row seeding machines
High precision paddy transplanting machines
Very high precision Pneumatically operated machines pick & places each seed at equal distance & depth , thus saves seeds and better germination rate .
. Crop yield increase due to precision amounts of plants in a field .
It is possible to use mechanical weeders and other machines because of equal row to row & plant to plant distance
high precision power operated paddy transplanted make sowing very fast and economical .
Ready to plant nursery increase the crop yield
Min. Use of manual labour

9. Innovative implements in seeding & plantation
Planting
Transplanting
Root vegetables
Grain & pulses
Paddy , sugarcane &vegetables

10. Innovative implements in seeding & plantation
Sugarcane transplanter:
Vegetable row transplanter:
Vegetable row planter are available for both seed planting & sampling transplantation.
Pre decided plant to plant or seed to seed distance can be achieved .
It enables to choose only healthy plant for sowing hence yield of crop is increased .
Planter are available for full sugarcane stalk & nursery transplanting .
Full stalk planter cuts sugarcane in required length & plants in field
Nursery transplanter provide precise planting of prepared sapling from nursery
Transplanter are very fast & tractor operated and reduces human labour .
These transplanter reduces the qty of seed required in tons by weight

11. Self & Tractor operated boom sprayer
Innovative implements in crop protection
Self & Tractor operated boom sprayer
These Sprayer can perform spraying much faster and cost effectively
Due to high Ground Clearance they can work in mature crops and cover full plant, which is not possible in manual spraying.
No or less dependency on manual labour .
Much precise and evenly distribution of pesticide and fungicide.
Bigger storage tank help for less stoppage for refill.

12. Fertilizer broadcaster
Innovative implements in crop protection
Fertilizer broadcaster
Fertilizer broadcaster are very fast & economical method of spreading fertilizer in fields .
No manual labor dependency.
Precise & uniform distribution of fertilizer.
Due to big hoper size less loading brake during field operation.

13. Innovative implements in crop protection
Mechanical weeding machine
Power weeding machines are very fast and economical .
Manual labour dependency is reduced and timely weeding helps in better crop yield .
Power weeder are gender friendly implements so female member of family can also use it.
Power weeding
Tractor mounted rotary weeding

14. Innovative implements in Harvesting
Mini combine harvester
Vegetable harvester
Sugarcane harvester
New generation of self propelled track type combine harvester are very economical in paddy fields and wetland .
Their specially designed rubber track make them ideal for usages in hilly area .
These machines are compact & small in size ,so suits for small fields .
Hydrostatic transmission are easy to operate & reliable.
No change required for usage in wheat & rice crops .
Small turning radius help in better handling & easy operation in small fields.
These harvester are very fast & economical method of harvesting .
They combines digging & cleaning together threshing .
These harvester are very fast & economical method of harvesting .
They combines cutting cleaning & loading operation together .
These machines can harvest several acres of crops per day.

15. Innovative implements in post Harvesting
Mulcher
Balers
Straw reaper
Balers are new machines for India , they collects straw from field & make bales of this straw . This straw can be used for animal fodder , as fuel in boilers and making cardboard paper . So it converts a waste in to a earning for farmer
Mulchers are used for cutting / mulching the straw from crop field after harvesting , by doing this it becomes easy to mix this straw in field . So that farmer should not burn this straw
Straw reaper is an local solution for wheat straw management . It cuts & picks wheat straw and chops & loads it in to trailer. This straw is used as animal fodder .

16. Innovative implements in post Harvesting
Bales spear
Sugarcane loader
Sugarcane loaders are used for loading trailers or truck during harvesting season.
They can lift more amount of sugarcane with ease .
They make loading very fast.
Bale spears are used to load or shift bales from field to trailer .
They make work fast and lifting of more weight easy.
