Primary and secondary tillage implements
- Mouldboard (MB) and Disc Ploughs: Inverts and cuts deep soil slices to bury weeds and open subsoil hardpan.
- Cultivators and Harrows: Breaks soil clods, pulverizes the topsoil, and creates fine tilth for seedbeds.
- Rotary Tillers (Rotavators): PTO-driven blades that chop stubble and create pulverized seedbeds in a single pass.
- Laser Land Leveller: Precision levelling tool using laser guidance to create perfectly flat fields, saving irrigation water.
Sowing, planting and intercultural tools
- Seed-cum-Fertilizer Drill: Mechanically deposits seeds and basal nutrients simultaneously at precise depths and row spacings.
- Paddy Transplanter: Mechanized self-propelled machine for transplanting nursery mat seedlings into puddled fields.
- Hand weeder and cono-weeder: Manually pushed mechanical weeders that uproot weeds between crop rows while aerating root zones.
- Knapsack and Power Sprayers: Specialized chemical sprayers for uniform foliar pest and disease management.
Harvesting, threshing and post-harvest equipment
Modern harvesting tools include reapers, multi-crop combine harvesters, and grain threshers. Adopting certified tools tested by Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institutes ensures durability and safety, with financial subsidies available on the national agrimachinery portal.

Common questions
What is the difference between primary and secondary tillage tools?
Primary tillage tools (like MB ploughs) perform deep soil opening and inversion, while secondary tillage tools (like harrows and rotavators) pulverize clods to prepare the final seedbed.
What is the benefit of a seed-cum-fertilizer drill?
It places seeds and fertilizer in separate bands at exact depths, improving germination uniformity and nutrient uptake while saving labour.
Where can farmers access modern agricultural tools without buying them?
Farmers can rent tools at reasonable hourly rates from local Custom Hiring Centres (CHCs) set up under government farm mechanization schemes.
