Study Notes
Farm Tools and Equipment
- Hand Tractor: For tilling soil; smaller than a four-wheel tractor and used for pulling a plow and harrow.
- Four-Wheel Tractor: Larger than a hand tractor and used for pulling a disc plow and disc harrow.
- Plow: Primarily used for tilling soil.
- Thresher: Separates grains from harvested crops.
- Spade: Used for digging canals and removing trash from the field.
- Pick-mattock: Used to break hard soil efficiently before planting.
- Sprayer: Applies insecticide to protect crops from pests.
- Bolo: Best for manually cutting weeds.
- Preventive maintenance of farm equipment helps increase farm productivity by preventing unexpected breakdowns.
Farm Management and Planning
- Consider the amount of fuel used by each equipment when choosing between a disc harrow and a rotavator with limited resources.
- Uneven rice plant growth can be caused by failure to properly apply fertilizers.
- Net Income: The remaining value after expenses are deducted from income.
- Square meter (m²): The unit used to measure the size of a surface.
- Man-Animal Days (MAD): Calculated to determine how much work can be completed by a person and an animal in a given time.
- Discharge rate: Measures the amount of water flowing out of a canal or pump in farm irrigation.
- Interest increases the total repayment amount over time when borrowing money.
- Cubic meter (m³): Used to calculate the volume of water needed to irrigate a field.
Irrigation and Water Management
- 100 kg of fertilizer in total is needed if a farmer applies fertilizer to 2 hectares of land and each hectare requires 50 kg of fertilizer.
- To maximize water usage for irrigation, use a combination of sprinklers and pumps efficiently.
- The process of locating the position of plants in the field is called lay-outing.
- A farm irrigation system diverts water from the source, distributes water within each field, and conveys water to individual fields.
- Intercropping: planting multiple crops within the rows of the main crop, while monocropping grows only one crop.
- Site assessment is important because it provides information about topography, soil type, and water sources, which influence farm layout and irrigation design.
- Required pressure and flow rate is a key consideration in designing an irrigation system.
- Reduce the number of irrigation lines or adjust irrigation timing if the required flow rate is not met.
- The irrigation system should match the water requirements of both crops when planning an intercropping system with corn and beans.
Farm Safety and Hazard Management
- Consult local authorities to align the farm layout with government regulations when creating a farm layout based on government environmental plans (REPs, LEPs, DCPs).
- Poorly designed irrigation system leads to excessive water use and soil degradation.
- Drip irrigation system over a flood irrigation system because of The cost of installation versus long-term water efficiency.
- Personal Protective Equipment is what PPE stands for in farm safety.
- Exposure to bacteria and pests: is a biological hazard on a farm.
- Inhalation of harmful particles and chemicals is prevented when wearing a respirator when working in a dusty or chemical-exposed area.
- PPE to wear to reduce the risk of injury when using a chainsaw to cut logs are Safety goggles, earplugs, gloves, and hard hat.
- Rinse the affected area with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing if pesticide spills on their skin..
- Store hazardous chemicals safely in a locked, labeled cabinet away from food and water sources.
- In a farm safety drill, check the nearest fire extinguisher and first aid kit first.
- The potential consequence of A farmer noticing that several workers are not wearing goves while handling pesticides is Increased risk of chemical burns and poisoning.
- Identifying and minimizing hazards reduces the risk of injuries and illnesses.
- The most important factor to consider when deciding between disposable gloves and reusable gloves for handling fertilizers is the level of protection each type provides against chemicals.
