Mechanization in horticulture for higher productivity of fruit crops

With the increasing population the demand of fruits and vegetables are also increasing day by day and thus in order to meet the requirements of the population we need to opt a sustainable way of horticultural production. The horticultural production includes seeding, transplanting, weeding, spraying and harvesting etc. which without mechanized techniques are quite difficult to perform by small and marginal farmers and thus it is leading to low production with reduced quality. Mechanization in horticulture can act as a biggest asset for Horticultural farmers as use of machines in production not only improves the production and quality but also saves the labour cost like during weeding instead of hiring labours to uproot weeds on any farm land, one can use rotary power weeder which not only uproots the weed at 10 cm depth but also mulches the soil at the same time.
