Agricultural mechanisation, as we know it today, is a relative newcomer to the art and science of profitable farming. It is only since the end of World War I1 that agricultural mechanisation has moved forward to take its place as one of the major factors concerned with profitable agricultural production. This rapid expansion has, together with all the many desirable attributes of mechanisation,...
متن کاملAdoption and Diffusion Processes in the Mechanisation of Irish Agriculture
Introduction The modernisation of production and the growth of output in the agricultural sector in Ireland, as in many other countries, have been associated with the adoption of many innovations which have contributed to a very significant decline in labour inputs and its replacement by mechanisation. In farming the process of mechanisation can be understood as the adoption of production metho...
متن کاملA Specification for an Autonomous Crop Production Mechanization System
This paper describes the specification of requirements and the functionality, of a novel agricultural mechanisation system based on small smart machines. It separates the current mechanisation methods from the original plant requirements and in doing so allows a new specification to develop based on agronomic, economic and environmental needs that can lead to a more sustainable production syste...
متن کاملComparison of farmers workload by manual and mechanical tasks on family farms.
The aim of this study was to compare the workload between tasks undertaken manually and those with the assistance of mechanical devices. The results indicate that the workload during the tasks assisted by mechanisation was usually very low or relatively low. Statistical analysis showed the impact of the way of the work performance on the workload. However, the results also indicate that the wor...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional Intertemporal Poverty in Rural China
We analyse intertemporal poverty in two important dimensions – income and nutrition – in less developed northwest China during 2000-2004. A generalised recursive selection model is proposed which enables simultaneous estimation of the causes of intertemporal poverty within and between dimensions. Improvement in agricultural production is crucial for reducing both dimensions of intertemporal pov...
