Determination of engineering properties of some selected agricultural crops

The agriculture sector is rapidly progressing towards the mechanization. Taking in to consideration the need of doubling the farmer’s income as well as reduction in the human drudgery the demand for agriculture mechanization is increasing day by day. Threshing is of the most laborious agriculture operation which required lots of human as well as animal energy. Still there are lots of agriculture crops which are threshed manually or with animal power. The engineering properties of the crops are very important when works on the machination of threshing.
