Farm Mechanization
Present Status
- Highest Farm Power availability (2.6 Kw/Ha) in India (1.5 Kw/Ha)
- Presently one tractor for every 9 ha of net cultivated land of State (62 ha national Average) 11% of tractors of the country
- 95% Irrigated Area
- Present focus on Resource Conservation Technologies (RCT) viz. laser land levellers, Happy seeder
- Agriculture Machinery Service Centers (AMSC)
Future Strategy
- Mechanization of labour intensive operations viz-a-viz paddy transplanting, cotton picking, sugarcane harvesting
- Introduction of machinery for management of crop residues.
- Propagation of water conservation, technologies through Laser land leveler, Happy Seeder and zero- till -drill
- Preparation of roadmap for agricultural mechanization during 12th
