Module 1: Introduction Flashcards
one of many disciplines of engineering concerned with the application of physical and biological sciences
agricultural and biosystems engineering
5 major fields of ABE
- land and water conservation engineering
- crop production engineering
- animal production and aquaculture engineering
- agro-processing engineering
- energy and and biomass engineering
system of prod of food fiber that embraces the use of tools, implement and machines for agri land development production, harvesting, and on-farm processing
agricultural mechanization
agri mechanization importance and roles
- reduce human effort
- improve quality
- perform operations
- improve timeliness
“…refers to the application of engineering science and designs to the processes and systems involved in the sustainable production, post production and processing of safe food, feed, fiber, timber and other agricultural and biological materials…”
according to?
agricultural and biosystems engineering
R.A. 10915 or the “Philippine Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Act of 2016”
most-time consuming and energy consuming stage in rice production
land preparation
one of the first machines devised to assist the farmer to perform his job with ease
tractor
agricultural mechanization began upon the introduction of _________ as a source of power
tractor
Technically, ___________________ refers to the development, manufacture, and distribution of all types of machines, infrastructure and equipment for farm production, post-harvest and processing.
agricultural mechanization
in country, tools, mechines, and equipment are internationallly manufactured
true or false
false; they are locally manufactured and imported
issues on importations are widely argued
these are major inputs to agriculture
machines and equipment
these are considered as one of the management tools to maximize farm production and profit
machines and equipment as farm inputs
