Basic Knowledge in Agriculture #12

Agricultural technology is the modern way of enhancing the system of agricultural processes via technological approach,compare to the olden days where cultivation were done with mere rudiments tools like Cutlass, spare and basket etc, making it rigid in nature and draining of energy.the introduction of agritech has been a major advanced advantage in agriculture in the aspect of input and output improvements,and reduction in labour intensive, capital intensive is more efficient and effective in terms of cultivation, though the human effort wont be eliminated totally, labour intensive will set in interms of supervising the activities been carried out by the introduction of technology.

It includes a ride range of technological development,such as agric drone, tractor, genomics and gene editing, livestock technology and farm management software. This technology has a vital role in the agriculture sector,in the aspect of improving crop yield, reduction of waste and and promoting sustainability.

A mere knowledge of a farmer can't anticipate and predict the future of it's plant, level of pest and other organism and element that are of disadvantage to a plant,with the development of technology,all future aspectation and wheather forecasting are being carried out with the help of precision agriculture, using GPs drone and satellite to generate basic information of a plant.this development has really been of help and support massively on the country income revenue, and agric food products to feed the nation.

For centuries farmers has been farming the hard way, though that's the belief and culture of our fathers, using of man power to cultivate a large area of land, which consume energy and serious health complications,though it depends on the system of agriculture,african to be precise deal mainly on subsistence farming,the use of technology in this format will be costly for them. Introduction of technology depends on the system of agriculture, it really advisable for a system such as
•Polyculture agriculture
• Aquaponic agriculture
•Precision agriculture
•Permaculture agriculture
•Agroforestry agriculture
•Regenerative agriculture
•Aeroponic agriculture and plantation farming isn't left out.
These agriculture systems can be adapted and combined to suit different climates, cultures, and economic conditions with the help of technology.

tractor

This a machinery vehicle for farming activities purposes,in the modernize agriculture generation this has been a major
Equipment use in terms of hauling heavy loads, plowing and cultivating soil for agriculture purposes, before the introduction of tractor, farming activities were mostly done with spare,machete and shovel. A tractor has the embodiment of
robust engine,transmission system, combined with drivetrain,a hydraulic system and a cabin . It Attachments and Implement are,
•1Plows
•Cultivator
•Planters
•Mowers
•Loaders
All this attachment has a designated ability and functions of tilling and preparing soil, weeding and aerating soil,seeding and planting crops. cutting grass and crops. For lifting and moving heavy loads For digging and excavating etc.....Farm tractor is of types,we have the four wheel drive tractor mainly for a larger farm,hilly landscape and heavy loads, two wheel drive, mainly and suitable for a small farm.

The benefit of using a farm tractor is that it improved productivity,(input and output), reduction in labor intensive,and enhance safety

Drones and agriculture satellite

Agriculture drones are machines use in crops monitoring, usually involves a large area of land,it has the ability of soil analysis,can collect soil sample, analyze them to determine moisture and nutrients level of the soil.crop yield prediction, precision application and irrigation management...
This equipment helps forecast the plant future and it foundation, this really helps farmers to make proper plans and arrangement via the information generated from the agriculture drones and satellites
It detect pests and diseases,and help farmers apply target pesticide and fertilizer.

Combine havester

A combine harvester is a machine that helps farmers harvest crops like rice, corn, wheat, and soybeans. It cuts the crop, separates the grain from the rest, and collects the grain.
Key Parts of a Combine Harvester
• Header: Cuts the crop
•Threshing drum: Separates grain from chaff and straw
• Separating system: Removes impurities and straw
•Grain tank: Stores the harvested grain
• Unloader: Transfers grain to a trailer or truck
How it Works
•Cuts the crop
•Separates grain from chaff and straw
•Removes impurities and straw
•Cleans and stores the grain
• Unloads the grain into a truck
The use if the this equipment enhanced the productivity of such plant, reduction in delay, increase efficiency and effectiveness(output/input).
