Technology in Agriculture

Agriculture is one of human culture that has long existed on earth. Way of working and tools used, of course has improved a lot. Here I intend to discuss a little about the development of agricultural equipment in the world.
Speaking of farming tools would be very close to the tool ploughboy. The tool is certainly hijackers constantly evolving in accordance with the times but with a fixed purpose, namely:
1. Creating the structure of land needed to grow seedlings or seeds. Processed solid ground until it becomes friable so as to accelerate the absorption of water and nutrients, capable of both holding rainfall in the soil to improve air circulation and facilitate the development of roots.
2. Inhibit or kill plant pests.
3. Immerse plants or rubbish that are above ground into the soil, thereby increasing soil fertility.
4. Kill insects, larvae, or eggs of insects through the change of residence and the scorching sun.
A Brief Story of Evolution of Agricultural Equipment.

• Plow Ancient from Wood
Egypt, in the year 3000 BC is estimated there a simple farm tools have emerged. A simple objects made ​​of wood used to plow the soil is very simple. At least the wooden plow to break up the soil and bury the seeds.
Hoe
Agricultural objects simpler but still survive until today. Sometimes also used in construction activities. Has a section width of the blade is so much more effective than the previously used wooden plows. Below is an example of a hoe in the present.


Iron Plow
At the time of entering the year AD in India and in China have been known to plow made ​​of iron with a large size and usually pulled by a cow or buffalo. This plow was not originally berroda so this does not plow drawn by one cow only, must be a group and in unison.
A century later known that in Italy has found plow berroda. And this berroda rover continues to grow until the 15th century appeared more complete with plow and moldboard coulter useful as a cutter.
 

 



 

• The Old Tractor
Of origin he says, tractor means a peghela. It's main function is to haul tractor something. That is why all of the rear tractor equipped with a connection to a device that will hold the whipped. Understanding tractors are now beginning to develop into motorized vehicles specifically designed to be a draft. Historically, the tractor was designed initially to replace animal hela with more powerful engines.
In 1860 steam-powered tractors began to be discovered. Tractors of this type of course which is operated by tractor ride like a car (car with the track field).
In the early 1900s emerged a new gas-powered artificial tractor Benjamin Holt who after joining the company's various companies, including diesel, tractor grown to become the new tractors currently available with different types and different uses as well.


 

• Hand Tractor
As time goes by agricultural land began to disintegrate, shrink and narrow. Needs of the tractor as a tool plow land is increasing but the farmers began to trouble getting the tractor driving (four-wheel tractors) because of higher prices and less efficient in the narrow land.



• Tractor Advanced
In the 1970's during the cold war the United States developed the technology of Global Positioning System or GPS to determine where on earth through the help of satellites. GPS is used to guide bombs and missiles more accurately. In 2000 the Clinton administration allowed the GPS is used for non-military purposes, and make commercial use of GPS technology is growing rapidly, including in the agricultural world.
Tractor that has a relationship with the GPS satellites can do to plant the seed, menyemprotan herbicides, cultivated fields, and harvest more efficiently because it can be said at this advanced tractor work no portion of land that gets the same treatment (eg herbicide spraying) twice.
