Course Title: Farm Mechanics
2. BS Agricultural Economics
Course Code: AGE261
Course Title: Farm Mechanics
Course Summary :
The application of engineering skills in crop production has the proven potential to enhance crop productivity. These are primarily achieved by introducing improved farm machineries in order to accomplish different farming activities, which otherwise, are carried out by manual labor. Farm mechanization increases crop productivity by reducing human drudgery, and also by lowering the cost of production. It is therefore important, that the agricultural graduates are properly trained with regards to the tools and elements of the farm mechanization process. In order to achieve this goal, the Department of Agricultural Engineering offers this course so that the students may observe the practical implications of the farm mechanizations process.
Course Objectives:
To enable students to gather practical knowledge about various aspects of farm mechanization, materials, and cost estimation for civil works; post-harvest technology, and irrigation scheduling.
