Ploughing

Open up the soil during the summer season to expose weed seeds to sunlight and reduce the weed seed bank. It helps to store the soil moisture during cropping period.
Rotavator Tillage

The rotavator are immensely used in cultivating digging and leveling the land for growing the crops and many other for plantation. It is very helpful for the farmers for cultivation particularly used for shallow tilling of soil.  It has features like smooth performance, high efficiency and low oil consumption.

Laser Levelling

Good land leveling helps ensure high yield and reliable production crops. This is best achieved using laser assisted land leveling. A level field allows planters/drills to place seed more precisely and enables more uniform irrigation, leading to a uniform crop stand and improved weed control and fertilizer use efficiency. Leveling also helps to reduce irrigation water input.

Puddling

Puddling is the most important operation for preparation of soil bed for transplanting the rice seedlings. Puddling is associated with churning of the soil to change its physical properties like bulk density, percolation rate, porosity and penetration. This process helps to check the weed growth, conserve the water and nutrients and ultimately to improve the crop yield. Puddling is done in standing water of 50-100mm depth in the field that has already been ploughed once in dry conditions.

Planting

Paddy Transplanters are used for transplanting rice seedlings in puddled soils in rows with uniform depth of standing water and weed free plot. Mechanized transplanting helps to planting in time and also saves labor. It maintains uniform plant population.

Weeding

Power weeder removes the weeds and incorporating it into the field. In addition to weed removal, stirring and pulverizing the soil will gives aeration for the root system. It can saves labor and time. It is easy to handle and it can be used both direction under system of rice intensification

Harvesting
The reaper har vester used to harvest and bind the crop. The use of mechine can help to harvest at proper stage of crop mechurity and reduce drudgery and operation time
