Abstract

In order to develop a proper plan for agricultural management of a region, adequate understanding of the current situation in the field of agricultural mechanization is a necessity. In this study, a comprehensive assessment was conducted on developmental situation of agricultural mechanization in Kurdistan, Iran. For this purpose, some factors such as the degree of mechanization, mechanization level, coefficient of productivity and executive power were calculated. The degree of mechanization in dominant products were generally calculated for tillage, planting, growing and harvesting throughout the province separately, of which the highest ratio belonged to tillage operations (nearly 100%) and lowest to the growing operations (less than 50%). The average index of the tractor mechanization level was estimated to be 1.67 (hp/ha) that was higher than the national average (1.5 hp/ha). The coefficient of productivity and use machinery in the region was estimated to be 71%.
