Effective use of agriculture machinery helps to increase productivity & production of output, undertake timely farm operations, and enable the farmers to quickly rotate crops on the same land. Mechanization also helps in animal husbandry, dairying, and fisheries. Subsistence farming has been significantly reduced by agricultural mechanization and commercial agriculture has taken over, allowing for increased productivity and crop yields. This allows for more food to be produced on a much larger scale, even allowing for exports. Modern technology in agriculture has led to increased production and productivity. This has in turn led to improved food security and incomes for farmers. In addition, it has helped to create new jobs and improve the quality of life for rural communities. Farm mechanization in India stands at about 40- 45% with states such as UP, Haryana and Punjab having very high mechanization levels but north eastern states having negligible mechanization.

Mechanized agriculture is the process of using agricultural machinery to mechanize the work of agriculture, greatly increasing farm worker productivity. The effective mechanization contributes to increase production in two major ways: firstly the timeliness of operation and secondly the good quality of work. Use of modern technology in agriculture decreased use of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which in turn keeps food prices down and reduced impact on natural ecosystems and less runoff of chemicals into rivers and groundwater. Reduces chemical application in crop production for efficient use of water resources and disseminates modern farm practices to improve the quality, quantity and reduced cost of production to hangs the socio-economic status of farmers. Modern technologies have changed the methods of farming. Improved seeds are available which give a high yield, new methods of are used which save water, fertilizers are used which increase the soil fertility, the damage to crops has been reduced which all lead to higher yields and improved quality of the food. Technology has played a pivotal role in the growth of the Indian economy. From the agricultural sector to the manufacturing sector, technology has helped improve productivity and efficiency. In the agricultural sector, for instance, technology has helped farmers increase yield and decrease input costs. Effective use of agriculture machinery helps to increase productivity & production of output, undertake timely farm operations, and enable the farmers to quickly rotate crops on the same land. Mechanization also helps in animal husbandry, dairying, and fisheries. With mechanization, the cost of work is significantly decreased as it takes less man power to complete operations, and production is completed in a shorter amount of time. This adjustment to the cost of production and yields results in decreased labour costs, as well as increased profits.

Mechanization and modern technology have several economic advantages in agriculture. These include:

In India, the use of farm machinery has been increasing steadily over the past few decades. However, the adoption of modern technology in agriculture is still relatively low, particularly in small-scale farming operations. According to a report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, only 40% of India's agricultural land is currently being cultivated using tractors, and the majority of farmers still rely on traditional methods and manual labour.

One of the major challenges facing the adoption of modern technology in Indian agriculture is the high cost of machinery and limited access to credit for small-scale farmers. However, the government has taken several steps to promote the use of modern technology in agriculture, including providing subsidies and loans for the purchase of farm machinery and establishing research and training programs to promote best practices in agricultural mechanization.

The adoption of modern technology and mechanization in agriculture has several economic advantages, including increased productivity, reduced labour costs, improved efficiency, and better quality control. However, there is still room for growth in the adoption of modern technology in Indian agriculture, particularly in small-scale farming operations. The government and other stakeholders must work together to promote the adoption of modern technology in agriculture and improve access to credit and training for small-scale farmers.

Dear Dr Fayaz Hussain thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Timeliness of operations, precision, better quality of operations, accurate placement, uniform distribution, reduction in losses, better quality of produce, reduced cost of production, reduction in drudgery to human beings and animals and enhancing the dignity of labour are the major advantages offered by farm. Effective use of agriculture machinery helps to increase productivity & production of output, undertake timely farm operations, and enable the farmers to quickly rotate crops on the same land. Mechanization also helps in animal husbandry, dairying, and fisheries. The level of mechanization has a significant positive impact on the cost, output value, income and return rate of all types of crops. For every 1% increase in the level of mechanization, the yields of all crops, grain crops and cash crops increase by 1.2151, 1.5941 and 0.4351%, respectively. Modern machines can reduce efforts of farmers. It can reduce the production time. It is used to supply water to the crops. Machines are useful for sowing the seeds. Advantages of technology and mechanization: Technology enhances the method of working by reducing labor and increasing output. Mechanization helps in bringing down the efforts required to accomplish a task. Technology makes the workplace safer and makes the work less complex. These are the farming practices, which are featured by large manpower, capital inputs, and extensive use of equipment like winnowing machines, threshers, and harvesters. Apart from this, it utilizes technologies like selective breeding and the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
