Field land graders and precision laser levelling
Field grading implements are essential for establishing uniform seedbeds, improving irrigation distribution, and reducing soil erosion.
- Tractor rear-mounted mechanical land blades: Used for scraping high spots, filling gullies, and maintaining farm access roads.
- Laser land levellers: Guided by a rotary laser transmitter and receiver to ensure dead-level field grading.
- Water conservation: Reduces irrigation water requirement by up to 25 to 30 percent while preventing salt accumulation.
- Uniform crop emergence: Eliminates waterlogging in low spots and moisture stress on elevated ridges.
Post-harvest seed, grain, and fruit grading machinery
Post-harvest graders remove foreign debris and sort harvested lots according to size, weight, density, and commercial quality parameters.
- Rotary screen and vibrating sieve cleaners: Separate weed seeds, dust, broken grains, and oversized trash.
- Specific gravity separators: Grade grains and seeds based on bulk density and physiological maturity.
- Roller and conveyor fruit sizers: Grade apples, citrus, tomatoes, and mangoes into diameter-specific commercial classes.
- Enhanced price realization: Well-graded agricultural commodities reduce mandi dockage penalties and qualify for e-NAM trading.
Equipment maintenance and subsidy schemes
Regular lubrication of scraper blade pivots, hydraulic cylinders, and sieve shaker eccentric shafts ensures long mechanical service life. Farmers, primary agricultural cooperatives, and custom hiring entrepreneurs can access capital subsidies for purchasing land graders and post-harvest cleaners through the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).

Common questions
What are the two primary types of graders used in Indian agriculture?
The two main types are tractor land graders for soil leveling and post-harvest grading machines for sorting harvested grain, seed, and fruit.
How does laser land grading benefit irrigation?
Precision leveling allows uniform water spread across fields, eliminating dry high spots and waterlogged depressions while saving substantial irrigation water.
Can farmers receive government subsidy on land leveling equipment?
Yes, laser land levellers and grading implements are eligible for capital subsidies under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM).
