Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
A study was conducted to assess farm mechanization level of different operations for major crops in Haryana state. The districts Karnal, Fatehabad, Bhiwani and Mewat were selected for the survey. A structured questionnaire was developed for assessment of farm machinery adoption level and the scores for different categories of farm machinery have been finalized by taking expert opinion from subject matter specialists (including retired faculty) of Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, CCSHAU, Hisar for assessment of adoption level of farm machinery in different operations for major crops. A total of 200 farmers of different farm sizes were interviewed. It revealed that the adoption level of farm machinery in Haryana for paddy, wheat, cotton, mustard and cluster bean was found to be 36.39, 53.35, 52.40, 61.44 and 61.53, respectively. The adoption level of mustard and cluster bean was high due to lack of advance machines and the farmers have adopted traditional implements but in case of paddy and wheat it is vice-versa.
