Agricultural Machinery & Mechanization: Mechanization, Machinery, Landform, Tillage, Farm Operations/Engr Segun R. Bello

Descriere

Description New ideas and developed technologies in agricultural operations depend to a large extent on scientific research diversity. Their results and implementation are responsible for increased agricultural production. The dynamic nature of agricultural operations and the complexity of agricultural machinery are indices of such scientific research diversity as evident in the wide spread requirements in agricultural operation if increased production must be sustained. Extensive works on agricultural mechanization and machinery utilization in agricultural production documented in this eleven chapter book will go a long way to acquaint students and researchers with the principles of agricultural machinery and provide him with requisite knowledge and skills on various agricultural machinery operations for effective agricultural mechanization. The book thus discusses in details the basic concepts in the development of agricultural machinery and mechanization. About the Author Engr. Segun started his professional career as registered member of the Nigeria Institution of Agricultural Engineers (NIAE) in September 2001, obtained corporate membership of the Nigeria Society of Engineers in 2006 and was granted full registration as professional engineer duly registered with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) in 2011. He was listed as member of the academia in Nigeria in 2011 and awarded a Pillar of nation building award same year. He has made significant contributions to research and development focusing on practical applications. He has authored several national and International journal publications, monograms and several books in agricultural engineering, workplace safety, solar energy applications, agricultural mechanization, machinery management and workshop technology. He is married with children.
