DEFINITION OF FARM POWER
Power is the rate of doing work or the expenditure of energy. Power is measured in units of joule/seconds otherwise known as watts. Farm power is the ability provided by various sources to carry on farm work. Farm power then can be defined as the energy, force and source used to carry out farming operations.

FARM MECHANIZATION (TRACTORIZATION)
CONTENT
• Definition
• Advantages of mechanization
• Disadvantages of mechanization
• Problems of mechanization
• Prospects of mechanization
Mechanization refers to the application of engineering principles and technology in agricultural production. It is the use of machines such as tractors, ploughs, harvesters, harrow, planter etc as well as the use of farm inputs such as insecticides, improved seeds, fertilizer etc.
The objective of mechanization is to:
• reduce human labour (that is to reduce drudgery)
• increase efficiency
• save cost (on the long run)
• save time
• improve standard of living by improving quality and quantity of produce available.
ADVANTAGES OF FARM MECHANIZATION
1. It ensures that farm operations are done and completed within a shortest possible time
2. It saves… Click here to order the complete Lesson Note on Agricultural Science SS1 third term
