In this study, the optimum size of tractor and optimum field capacity requirements of implements for three different farms i.e., Agricultural Engineering Farm (AEF), Adhartal Farm (AF), and Dusty Acre Farm (DAF) of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya Jabalpur was analyzed. Primary data were obtained through log book, history book and field survey of the university farms. Results showed that an optimum hp requirement for AEF was maximum (138.59hp). For DAF and AF it was 101.19 and 124.92 hp, respectively. The optimum field capacity of plough for all the three farm varied between 0.23 - 0.46 ha/h, cultivator was between 0.82 - 1.40 ha/h, disk harrow was between 0.90 - 1.52 ha/h and for seed drill was 1.00 - 2.01 ha/h when the labour cost varies between Rs. 100 - 180. For the selected farms the size of plough ranged between 2bottom-30cm to 4 bottom-35cm, the size of the cultivator and seed drill varied 9 - 19 tynes and for disk harrow between 8 - 16 disk.

Abstract


In this study, the optimum size of tractor and optimum field capacity requirements of implements for three different farms i.e., Agricultural Engineering Farm (AEF), Adhartal Farm (AF), and Dusty Acre Farm (DAF) of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya Jabalpur was analyzed. Primary data were obtained through log book, history book and field survey of the university farms. Results showed that an optimum hp requirement for AEF was maximum (138.59hp). For DAF and AF it was 101.19 and 124.92 hp, respectively. The optimum field capacity of plough for all the three farm varied between 0.23 - 0.46 ha/h, cultivator was between 0.82 - 1.40 ha/h, disk harrow was between 0.90 - 1.52 ha/h and for seed drill was 1.00 - 2.01 ha/h when the labour cost varies between Rs. 100 - 180. For the selected farms the size of plough ranged between 2bottom-30cm to 4 bottom-35cm, the size of the cultivator and seed drill varied 9 - 19 tynes and for disk harrow between 8 - 16 disk.
