 ABSTRACT

Mechanization is the key to achieve sustainable rice production in India. Presently in rice cultivation land preparation and harvesting operation is highly mechanized but intermediate farm operations are performed manually. Growing rice in conventional and traditional practices required higher and uneven distribution of inputs that results in adverse impact on environment and also reduces the rice productivity, and profitability. To achieve sustainable and environment-friendly rice farming, new technologies need to be adopted to reduce its environmental footprint. This paper provides knowledge about present practices of rice cultivation including machinery, energetics, and identify future research thrust to enhance the mechanization level of rice in India.

Keywords: Machinery, Mechanization, Rice.
