Farm Mechanization on Slope Lands

경사지(傾斜地) 농업(農業)의 기계화(機械化)

The necessity of using land on slopes for agricultural production has been recognized all arable land resources in plains are decreased. Mechanization is one of the main factors determining the extent of cultivating slope lands and it must be considered as a means of increasing labor productivity. This article discussed some relevent aspects of farm mechanization on slopes. It includes the potential slope land resources which can be tilled for food and forage productions, design characteristics of agricultural machines for use in slope lands, and possible solutions of the problems to be encountered in the mechanization process.
