Top 10 Agriculture Products Which Increases The Efficiency Of Farming In 2022
Farming has been the backbone of our country since ancient times and was a total labour-intensive method involving a great deal of time and effort. As time passed, the effort for farming decreased, thanks to farm mechanization. Farmers now use various agriculture equipmentswhich help in providing higher yields with less effort.
There is a need for more innovative agriculture implements in India to assist farmers in increasing their yield thus providing farmers with maximum income. The increased use of mechanization opens up many new markets.
The following are a couple of the most important agricultural products for the year 2022.
1. Agriculture sprayers or sprayer pumps
Sprayer pumps are widely used in agriculture for liquid transfers, farmers can easily spray the insecticides, pesticides and other liquids transfers.

2. Brush Cutters
A brush cutter, also known as a brush saw or clearing saw, is an agricultural tool used to remove weeds and tiny plants from the fields that lowers the quality of farms. This simple yet strong farm machinery should be on every farmer's list of agricultural implements, since the brush cutter removes small unwanted plantations to the roughest patches. The cost of the brush cutter ranges from Rs. 10,000- Rs. 25,000 based on the brand and operating system.
3. Roto Seed Drill
Roto seed drill is the innovative device in recent times, roto seed drill enables farmers to cultivate land, apply fertilizer and sow vegetable seeds at the same time making the farmer’s job easy. It is a combination of seed drill and rotary tiller.
This agricultural machine is simple to operate and requires very little maintenance. The machine is designed in a way that farmers can easily change different seed types without much wastage. The price of the roto seed drill starts from 1 lakh and extends till 1.5 lakhs and varies depending upon the brand, material, horse power and capacity of the tank.
4. Power Weeder
Another most useful agri-machinery used for secondary tillage is the power weeder. Power weeder is utilized by the farmers for removing weeds. In addition to weeding, power weeder is also used for soil pulverization. Power Weeder costs between Rs.49,000 - Rs.56,000 per piece. The effectiveness of weed removal depends upon a number of parameters such as the performance of the machine and the soil type for instance, power weeder works well when the soil is wet.
5. Rotary Tiller
Rotary tiller is one of the important farm machines used to cultivate the land thus loosening the soil, the series of blades which are attached to the shaft are used to break the clods and help in soil pulverization. In the process, the nutrients become more available thus farmers get maximum yield. The rotary tiller is mostly used in the cultivation of paddy and canopied vegetables.
6. Portable Power Sprayer
Portable power sprayers are special types of sprayers used in orchards for spraying pesticides, foliar nutrients and plant growth regulators. Portable power sprayers are either operated by electricity or through a petrol engine and contain a hose pipe. The price of portable power sprayers depends upon the features, brand and capacity. Generally the price of the power sprayers starts from Rs. 50,000 and extends till Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
7. Paddy Weeder
A paddy weeder is an extension or an attachment to the agriculture baffle reaper, it is used to remove weeds from the paddy field without disturbing the crop. Wide range of cost effective paddy weeders are available in the market and include manually operated to machine operated paddy weeders. The cost of the paddy weeders ranges from Rs. 1900 which is a manual weeder to Rs. 20,000 (operated through machine)
Besides agricultural machines, few other agricultural products are available in the market which can be used during crop production for various purposes but the ultimate use of any product is proportional to the increased yields. These are very economical products and have a good impact on farming.
8. Mulch Sheets
Mulch sheets are the protective covers used for covering the soil during vegetative stages of the plants and are considered as the beneficial technique for fruitful farming. Main functions of mulching sheets include : moisture conservation, soil conservation, high yield and reduced weeds thus creating proper micro-climate for crops. Plastic mulch sheets are commercially used by many farmers. Two types of mulch sheets are widely used in the market and include black and clear mulch sheets. Black mulch sheets provides warmth whereas, clear mulch sheets encourage faster growth
Mulch sheets are available in different sizes and width generally, Four feet length is preferable and width include 21, 25 and 50 microns, the price of mulch sheets in the market ranges from Rs1900-2000
9. Pheromone Traps

Lures containing sex pheromones are inserted into the insect trap and placed in the field. The chemical of lure that is placed in the trap differs from pest to pest and crop to crop. The price of pheromone trap ranges from Rs 100 to 120 including lure.
10. Yellow sticky cards
Yellow sticky cards are the traps used for monitoring pests in the fields. These are very inexpensive means for identifying pests and gained popularity in recent years. Yellow sticky cards are available in two different sizes and include A4 and A5. The price of yellow sticky traps ranges from Rs. 15- 20
Above are some of the important agricultural products that increase the efficiency of farming. The acceptance of these products by farmers are reportedly increasing in recent years, since farming operations are done with ease without much effort. However, the quality of the machines is attributed to the farming efficiency, Jai Ho Kisan App is the digital platform intended to supply high quality agricultural products to the farmers at best prices. Jai Ho Kisan is envisioned to serve farmers thus providing every services like quality crop advisory of almost all crops helping farmer to get maximum yields, financially motivating farmers with updated market rates, information on schemes and policies introduced by government of India as well as weather updates thus helping farmer in planning their weather based farm operations.
