Detailed explanation-1: -The level of mechanization has a significant positive impact on the cost, output value, income and return rate of all types of crops. For every 1% increase in the level of mechanization, the yields of all crops, grain crops and cash crops increase by 1.2151, 1.5941 and 0.4351%, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Makes More Space For Crops Land usage is significantly improved with this process because machines can make more challenging land arable that might previously have lain fallow. Also, land can be used more efficiently to grow a larger variety of crops and more of them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The overall level of farm mechanization in India is 40-45 per cent (i.e. tillage about 40 per cent, seeding and planting about 30 per cent, plant protection 35-45 per cent and harvesting and threshing about 60-70 per cent for rice and wheat and less than 15 per cent for other crops).

Detailed explanation-4: -Benefits of mechanization in agriculture: The major benefits of farm mechanisation are reduced requirement of human labour, fastening of agricultural operations and increased productivity and efficiency.
