agricultural machinery

In modern farms, tractors do most of the work. They are used to push/pull other tools. These tools are machines that plow the land, sow seeds or do other things. A plowing tool prepares the land for planting by loosening the soil and removing weeds or competing plants. The most well-known tool for plowing is the plough. This ancient tool was promoted by the John Deere Company in 1838. Currently, in the United States, the use of this tool has decreased compared to the past. Recently, offset discs are used to turn the soil, and plows are used more for deep plowing and moisture conservation.

Combine; It is a machine designed to harvest all kinds of grains with high productivity. The name is derived from the combination of four separate harvesting operations, namely reaping, threshing, gathering and threshing. Wheat, rice, oats, rye, barley, corn, corn on the cob, soybean, flax, sunflower, and canola are among the products that are harvested with a combine harvester.

The most common model of seed sprayer is called Kashtgar. This machine places the seeds evenly and in long plots that are usually between sixty and ninety centimeters apart. Some crops are planted by drill. These drills drop far more seeds in plots less than thirty centimeters apart and fill the ground. Planters automatically transport seedlings to the ground. As the use of plastic mulch expands, mulching machines, planters, and seeders place long rows of plastic on the ground and automatically plant between them.

After planting, other agricultural machines such as self-propelled sprayers can be used to spread fertilizers and pesticides. Using agricultural sprayers is a way to protect crops from weeds using herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. To prevent the growth of weeds and their diversity; Spraying or planting a cover crop is used.

In alfalfa planting, balers are used to tightly pack the grass and stalks so that they can be stored and stored during the cold winter months. Modern irrigation also depends on machines. Motors, pumps and other dedicated equipment move water at high speed and significant volume to large areas. Also, similar equipment can be used to transfer fertilizers and pesticides to the ground. Besides tractors, other machines have been optimized and adapted for use in agriculture. Machines such as trucks, airplanes, and helicopters for transporting products and moving agricultural tools that can perform aerial spraying, livestock and herd control, and other tasks.
