Mechanized agriculture is the process of using agriculture machinery to mechanize the work of agriculture, greatly increasing farm worker’s productivity. The use of mechanized power for agriculture purpose reduces not just the hardship faced by the farmers under traditional manual practices but also speeds up agricultural processes, saves cost and enhances agricultural productivity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of different types of reaper binder operational for harvesting of wheat in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh. | International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 10 2019 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Performance and Cost Economics Evaluation of Different Types of Reaper Binder for Harvesting of Wheat in Satna District of Madhya Pradesh India J.

The use of mechanized power for agriculture purpose reduces not just the hardship faced by the farmers under traditional manual practices but also speeds up agricultural processes saves cost and enhances agricultural productivity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of different types of reaper binder operational for harvesting of wheat in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh. The field performance was done by using three different machines. Actual field capacity for machine 1 machine 2 and machine 3 were ha hr ha hr and ha hr respectively whereas their theoretical field capacity were ha hr ha hr and ha hr respectively. The field efficiency of machine 1 machine 2 and machine 3 were 64 respectively. The labour requirement was 5 man-hr ha man-hr ha and 5 man-hr ha for machine 1 2 and 3. The break-even analysis of machine 1 machine 2 and machine 3 were ha year ha year and ha year. Introduction India is primarily an agricultural country. Agriculture is the most prominent occupation for most of the Indian families. Over the ages Indian farmers have mainly used human
