List some Agricultural Tools and it's uses
Answers
Answer:
- Just looking at hand operated tools, and leaving off tractors, harvesters, and machine sprayers, here are some examples.
- Hoes are a tool with a handle and flat perpendicular blade attached on the end. It is used for chopping out weeds, opening furrows, and moving dirt to the plant’s roots.
- Shovels are handle tools used for digging or moving soil manually.
- Bow rakes are handle tools used to clear debris or gather compost.
- Pitch forks are handle tools used to scoop up loose material like hay or straw.
- Scythe are handle tools with a long, curved blade which is drawn through ripe grain to cut the stalks for hand harvesting.
- Push plow are two handled implements that have a wheel and plow on the front that is pushed down rows to cultivate crops.
- Garden sprayers are containers withe a hand pump to pressurize them for spraying insecticides and herbicides on gardens.
- Potato rakes look like hoes, but with a row of pitchfork like tangs for dragging potatoes out of the soil after they’ve been plowed.
- Water hose sprayers. water hoses, and watering cans are used for hand watering plants.
- Plant snips, lopping shears, and straight shears are used for pruning or cutting plants or their limbs.
These are a few common hand tools used in farming (usually on a small scale). Most modern agriculture have powered machines for these tasks, diesel tractors and combines, multirow planters and cultivators, tillers, and sprayers. The list would be hard to create, especially considering different cultures use different types of equipment and tools, and have different names for them.
Hope this will help you..

Following are the different types of agricultural tools used in farming:
Plough
It is usually derived from wood and is pulled by two bulls. It has been used since ancient times for tiling, turning the soil and adding fertilizers. It consists of a long wooden log called ploughshaft. It has a strong triangular iron strip known as a ploughshare. The other end is connected to a beam that is then placed on the bull’s neck. However, the wooden ploughs are now substituted by iron ploughs and it is drawn by tractors.
Hoe
Hoe has been used since ancient times for cultivation purposes. It consists of a long rod of wood and is pulled by the animals. It is pulled by the animals and is used for loosening the soil and removing weeds. It has a strong, broad, bent plate of iron which works as a blade.
Cultivator
A plough attached to a tractor is called a cultivator. This reduces labour and saves time. It stirs the soil around the maturing crop to promote growth and destroy weeds.
Seed Drill
This is used for sowing seeds. This is done with the help of tractors. It makes sure that the seeds are sown at equal distances and depths and are covered with the soil. This allows plants to receive sufficient sunlight, nutrients, and water from the soil. This saves labour, time and protects the seeds from being eaten by birds or other animals.
Traditional Tool
The traditional tool for sowing seeds is shaped like a funnel. The funnel is filled with seeds. The seeds are passed through two or three pipes with sharp ends. These ends enter into the soil and the seeds are placed there. Sickle, spade, axe, are some of the traditional agricultural implements used by the farmers. It is a labour and time-intensive agriculture practice.
