Agricultural Science

Specific Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

  • Define Agricultural mechanization
  • List six problems of Agricultural mechanization
  • Explain four problems of Agricultural mechanization
  • List five advantages of farm mechanism

Agricultural Farm Mechanization

This is the use of farm machineries, chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers and improved seeds in the farm.

The use of all these material in the farm generate problems. Problems of Agricultural Mechanization

  1. The use of farm machineries is expensive.
  2. Some of the chemicals may kill human beings
  3. A lot of damages are done to the soil structure
  4. Agricultural mechanization causes pollution
  5. There is high cost of spare parts of farm machineries
  6. It heads to unemployment
  7. Topography of the land affect farm mechanization
  8. Farmer (some farmers);- are not well educated to carry out the needed operations

Advantages of Agricultural Mechanization

  1. It saves of labour
  2. It increases production
  3. Agricultural Mechanization helps in processing and preservation
  4. It also promotes specialization
  5. It encourages large scale production
  6. Farm mechanization helps to reclaim land
  7. It increases farmers’ income
  8. It spends up farm operation
  9. It minimizes losses
  • Agricultural Mechanization helps to promote standard of living

Summary

Farm Mechanization is the use of machineries, pesticides, herbicides, chemical and fertilizers in our farm. However, there are problems associated with it. This problems include:- it is expensive. The chemicals can kill, low level of farmers’ education, pollution, and high cost of spare parts, unemployment and damages to soil structure.

Whatever has problem may has advantages like it saves labour/time, increases product, helps to reclaim land, increases farmers’ income and promote standard of living.

    Evaluation

  • Define Agricultural/Farm Mechanization
  • List six problems of Agricultural Mechanization
  • Explain four problems mention above
  • List five advantages of Agricultural Mechanization
