  • The Broadfork
    The BroadFork Many gardeners and growers, especially those working on heavy soils, face the difficulty of deeply compacted soil and want to loosen and aerate it without bringing lower layers to the surface. On a field scale there are tractor-based solutions, but how to tackle the task in the smaller plot? The BroadFork is designed to be at least part of the solution! (The Glaser Bio cultivator (414) has the same objective.) Here are some of Eliot Coleman’s comments from his book The New Organic Grower:– “This two-handled deep tillage tool is known by different names, but broadfork comes as close to describing it as any other. Like most agricultural tools its genesis surely dates far back in agricultural history. It consists of a 2-foot wide spading fork with a 5-foot-long handle at either side of the fork. The teeth on the fork are spaced 4 inches apart and are about 12 inches long . The tines are designed with a parabolic shape and curve down from an attachment point at the back of the crossbar. This difference is the key. The parabolic curve . works with an easy, rolling motion. As the handles are pulled down, the tines curve under and lift the soil easily. “The broadfork is held with the handles tilted slightly forward of vertical. It is pressed into the soil as far as possible by stepping on the crossbar, then the two handles are pulled back towards the operator in an easy rocking motion. The broadfork is then lifted from the loosened soil, the operator steps backwards 6 inches, and the manoeuvre is repeated..

    Vol.1 Issue-8, APRIL 2021 (e-ISSN: 2582-8223) Mechanization in Fruit Culture 1 1 1 Manmohan Lal , Neeraj Singh Parihar and Ankit 1Ph.D. Scholar, Division Fruit Science (SKUAST-Jammu) ARTICLE ID: 055 Introduction Horticulture is one of the important sector in determining the economy of many countries but for most of the farmers the cost of different horticultural operation are probably considered as one of the major factors in determining whether there will be economically successful season or not. Different horticultural operations like soil and seed bed preparation digging, fertilization and irrigation, manure spreading, pruning and training, spraying and harvesting, accounts more than half of production cost. In many countries farmers mostly faces these problems which are likely to take more time and also increases the total production cost. So in order to minimize production cost and to saves time we have to take a step towards mechanization. Current mechanized horticulture includes use of trucks, tractors, harvesters. Modern orchards even sometimes use computers in conjuction with satellite imagery and GPS guidelines to increase yield. In fruit cultivation several machinery are available to increase production, mould board plough, disc plough and rotavator are being used in ploughing and seed bed preparation. Operations such as harvesting, spraying, weeding and irrigation use of trunk shaker, air blast sprayer, bush cutter, drip irrigation, respectively can be used to overcome production cost and to saves time compare to conventional method. Need of Mechanization The followings are the points which arises the need of mechanization in fruit culture: . To increase land labour productivity .
