At present in India, tractors are being used for tillage of 22.78% of total area and sowing 21.30% of total area. Although, utility of manually and bullock operated equipment has beenestablished but the response of the farmers has been selective. The bullock drawn seed-cum-fertilizer drill and manual paddy transplanter have not been universally accepted in spite of financial incentive from the Government. Due to limited use in a year and economic advantage of many items, some improved implements could not replace the local alternatives. The land levelers, seed-cum-fertilizer drills have also been accepted by the farmers but on limited scale. Major adoption of agricultural machinery in addition to irrigation equipment and tractor, was thresher for wheat crop. Due to various applications of paddy straw, preference has been limited for paddy threshers. Self propelled / tractor operated combines, reaper harvester, potato and groundnut mechanization machinery are also commercially available and accepted by the farmers in states where tractors were introduced. Now combine harvesters are commonly used in different parts of the country, on custom hire basis, for wheat, soybean and paddy harvesting.
