The future of agriculture depends on the next generation of problem solvers. Creative and skilled individuals, like we, can use their knowledge of agriculture and life sciences, along with the problem solving skills of engineering, to create new systems and solutions for the 21st century. Agriculture is changing faster than any time in history. That's why, if we are interested in helping direct the future of agriculture, a degree in agricultural engineering is what we need. In this paper, agricultural engineers are people who like hands-on problem solving and design implementation. They like to work in teams to solve societal problems related to agriculture. Agricultural engineers solve problems related to agricultural equipment, water quality and water management, biological products, livestock facilities, food processing and many other agricultural areas.Keywords

The experimental result were 180 surveyed farmers, 28 per cent farmers had marginal size farm (upto 1 ha), 29 per cent had small (1-2 ha), 25 per cent farmers belonged to semi-medium (2-4 ha), 15 per cent farmers had medium size farm (4-10 ha) and 3 per cent farmers had large size farm (more than 10 ha). 40 per cent belonged to general category, 35 per cent were from backward category and 25 per cent farmers were of scheduled caste category. In district-wise distribution of farmers, 47 per cent were of small size (4 to 5 members), 20 per cent were of medium size families (6 to 7 members) and 33 per cent families were of large size (8 or more). It is clear that majority of farmers lived in small size family of farmers in Uttar Pradesh.Keywords

India accounts for only about 2.4 per cent of the world’s geographical area and 4 per cent of its water resources, but has to support about 17 per cent of the world’s human population and 15 per cent of the livestock. Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, accounting for 14 per cent of the nation’s GDP and about 11per cent of its exports. Agriculture in India is currently growing at an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8 per cent. The estimated numbers of tractors, power tillers, diesel engines and motors per 1000 ha were average found to be 116, 0, 63 and 119, respectively, in Uttar Pradesh. The number of power sources per 1000 ha of net area sown in the selected village of Bareilly, Bulandshahr, Bijnour, Firozabad, Etawah, Jalaun, Kushinagar, Azamgarh and Sonbhadra districts were: Tractors-108, 172, 152, 159, 104, 106, 75, 104, and 65; Diesel Engines-91, 91, 81, 36, 51, 15, 29, 85, and 85; and Electric Motors-108, 151, 141, 165, 115, 155, 14, 145 and 80, respectively.Keywords

The irrigation requirements for different crops varies from climatic conditions and soil types. The study was conducted to determine irrigation requirement and irrigation scheduling for maize. The irrigation efficiency and field efficiency of 80 per cent and 70 per cent were considered for the study, respectively. The average ETo calculated was 3.77 and 3.63 mm/day for 2015 and 2016, respectively. The total irrigation requirement for maize was 171 and 118.4 mm for both 50 per cent and 60 per cent critical depletion regarding 2015 and 2016, respectively.The total gross irrigation and net irrigation was 128.9 mm and 90.3 mm for 50 per cent critical depletion and 159.2 mm and 111.4 mm for 60 per cent critical depletion in 2015 while total gross irrigation and net irrigation was 128.6 mm and 90.0 mm for 50 per cent critical depletion and 156.0 mm and 119.2 mm for 60 per cent critical depletion in 2016.The rain efficiency was found 25.6 per cent and 39.4 per cent and by this efficiency, effective rainfall was 179.1 mm and 219.5 mm for 2015 and 2016, respectively.Keywords
