Agriculture is the main source of food in the world. If there is no agriculture, we don’t have food we don’t have clothes, even we don’t have life. Everything we eat rice, wheat, and cotton is produced by agriculture. That’s why farmers are considered gods. But agriculture is not so easy. It depends on the weather conditions and requires a lot of hard work, patience, and experience. Technology growth is helping in various fields. Here are the top 10 gadgets that are used in agriculture to reduse the stress on farmers.
10. Seed Germinator
Seed germinators are used for germinating seeds. They can create an environment in which light, humidity and temperature are controlled to provide perfect conditions for the germination of seeds. These machines have specially designed growth chambers which can create artificial environment using temperature, humidity and light which are the main factors for seed germination. These chambers play important role in production of the crops.
9. Tarpaulin
Plants absorb energy from sunlight for their growth. But too much of sunlight can damage the plant growth. Tarpaulins are very necessary for summer conditions. They are available in various sizes and are completely waterproof. These are used to cover the crops to protect them from sunlight during summer days.
8. Veterinary Ultrasound
For viewing baby animals in the womb, ultrasound technologies are used. They are also used for checking the quality of meat that may be found in an animal before going to the market. The DNA tests help to identify the animals with good desirable qualities. It can also be used to improve the quality of cattle.
7. Power Reaper
Power Reaper is a multi-tasking device that has various functions and requires very less effort. You can harvest and cut the crops easily with this machine. It has large tires, it can balance properly on uneven surfaces too. It reduces working labor. This machine can be operated easily. It will be appropriate for crops like paddy, mustard, wheat, etc.
6. Ear Tags For Cattle
Taking care of cattle is quite a difficult job. But it can be a little bit easy with Ear tags that have radio frequency identification chips. These ear tags can communicate with the antenna placed on feeding troughs. Now the farmers can easily monitor the eating activities of their cows. With Ear tags, we can easily keep track and record information including age, weight, gender of cattle, when a cow last calved, number of calves she has had, etc.
5. Automatic Milking System
Many farmers also have cattle with them. Some farmers also do milk business along with agriculture. The draught cattle are used for irrigation and carting. Collecting the milk from the cow is not easy. It requires patients and experience. We should do it without hurting the cattle. But if you don’t know anything about it you don’t need to worry. Because there are many automatic milking systems available to help you. They can milk the cow easily and quickly without injuring them.
4. Nitrogen Sensors
Fertilizers are used to improve the growth of crops. There are various types of fertilizers used. Nitrogen is the main ingredient in these fertilizers. It will enhance the production of plants and release them back into the air. But, if the nitrogen from these fertilizers is not taken up in the air can end up in the groundwater. It will be very dangerous for the Marine and can also be harmful to the crops and also contributes to change in the climate. The nitrogen sensor helps the farmers to use the fertilizers efficiently. It will send red and infrared light to the crops and measure the light reflected from the plants. If the reading is greater less amount of fertilizer is enough.
3. Power Weeder
Weeds are unwanted plants that grow in between the crops and hinder their growth by competing for nutrients and water. The weeds must be removed properly. With Power Weeder, those weeds can be removed easily and quickly. This can be used for various purposes. It has diesel engines. There are many attachments available in the market.
2. Irrigation App
Irrigation is a significant thing that contributes the plant growth. A farmer should irrigate his crops properly based on the weather condition. Some scientists have developed an app called smart irrigation to help farmers with irrigation. We can easily get to know went to irrigate our crops and how much water is needed. Even home lawns can also use this app to know when to open their sprinklers.
1. Earth Auger
Digging the ground is an important thing in agriculture. It is done with a hoe. A hoe is a tool used to dig the ground with manpower. It requires more energy. Earth Auger makes the work easy for you. It can complete the work in less time. It is a drilling tool that can be used to make holed for plantation purposes. It is available in various sizes. You can dig approximately 3 feet in depth with this earth auger.
