Описание: Cultivation is the act of caring for or raising plants. Cultivation is loosening and breaking up (tilling) of the soil. The soil around existing plants is cultivated (by hand using a hoe, or by machine using a cultivator) to destroy weeds and promote growth by increasing soil aeration and water infiltration. Soil being prepared for the planting of a crop is cultivated by a harrow or cultivator. A crop is any cultivated plant, fungus, or alga that is harvested for food, clothing, livestock fodder, biofuel, medicine, or other uses. In contrast, animals that are raised by humans are called livestock, except those that are kept as pets. Mechanization helps the farmers to achieve relevance in farm operations with selfesteem and apply costly input with reduced quantity for better efficiency and effectiveness. Small and marginal farmers can now make use of high capacity agricultural machines on custom hire basis. The consequences of this development can be seen in many phases such as growth in productivity and production per worker, accuracy in application of crop inputs, growth in cropping intensity due to timeliness of operations, growth in the quality of produce, fall in grain losses and growth in farm employment. Mechanization also encourages better management of farm inputs, improvement in working conditions and performance of jobs that would otherwise be difficult by hand. It also helps in reducing the cost of production. Mechanization of Cultivated Crops provides comprehensive overview of the farm tools, equipment and methods used in various operations such as land development, tillage, seeding/planting, interculture, fertilizer application, plant protection, and harvesting.
