MATERIALS, TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT IN AGRICULTURAL

CROP PRODUCTION
Tools, materials, and equipment play a very important role in agricultural crop
production. We cannot do farming activities without these tools and equipment. Their
availability makes the work much easier and faster. Each of them has its specialized
purpose and function. The work of each tool, material, and equipment varies to the
type and kind of task that one will be working in the farm. However, even if one may
have the most sophisticated tools and equipment but does not know how to use
them, these are just useless. In order to do crop production operations successfully,
one must have enough knowledge of all these tools and equipment, their uses and
when they will be used.

Tools

These hand tools are usually light and are used without the help of animals or
machines. These can be manipulated by hands with no assistance from any energy.
These tools can be used only for small agricultural works/ farms/areas like at
home, school or community.
Tool Uses/purposes//functions
Bolo is used for cutting tall grasses
and weeds and chopping branches of
trees.

Pick-mattock is used for digging

canals, breaking hard topsoil and for
digging up stones and tree stumps.

Grab-hoe is used for breaking hard

topsoil and pulverizing soil.

Spade is used for removing trash or

soil, digging canals or ditches and
mixing soil media.

herbicides

Wheelbarrow is used for hauling

trash, manures, fertilizers, planting
materials and other equipment

Sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool

with a variously curved blade typically
used for cutting weeds.

Farm Implements

These are accessories which are being pulled by working animals or mounted
to machineries (hand tractor, tractor) which are usually used in the preparation of
land. These are usually made of a special kind of metal.

Implements Uses/ purposes/ functions

1. Plows. These are farm implements either pulled
by a working animal or a tractor. The plow is
Native Plows specifically used for tilling large areas, making
furrows and inter row cultivation. Plows pulled
by working animals are made of either a
combination of metal or wood or pure metal.
Disc Plow They are used to till areas with a shallower
depth than that of the disc plows which are
pulled by tractors. The disc plows which are
pulled by tractors.

6
 2. Harrow. The native wooden harrow is made
Native wooden of wood with a metal teeth and pulled by a
Harrow carabao while the disc harrow is made of
metal mounted to a tractor. Harrows are
used for tilling and pulverizing the soil.

Disc harrow
3. Rotavator. The rotavator is an implement
mounted to a tractor used for tilling and
pulverizing the soil

Common Farm Equipment

These are machineries used in crop production. They are used in land
preparation and in transporting farm inputs and products. These equipment need a
highly skilled operator to use.
Hand tractor is used to pull a plow
and harrow in preparing a large area of
land.

Four-wheel tractor is used to pull

disc plow and disc harrow in preparing
much bigger area of land.

Water pumps are used to draw

irrigation water from a source.

Other examples of farm equipment

Tresher Corn Dehusker Rice Harvester

 What is It

There are several categories or group of tools or materials for crop production.
These include

1. Hand tools- these are usually light and are used without the help of
animals or machines. It can be manipulated by hands and no assistance
from any energy. These tools can be used only for small agricultural
works, small farms, small gardens or areas like at home, school or in
community. Each tool has its own purpose. The proper use of tools must
be observed in farming.

2. Farm Implements- these are accessories which are being pulled by

working animals or mounted to machineries (hand tractor, tractor) which
are usually used in the preparation of land. These are usually made of a
special kind of metal.

3. Common Farm Equipment- these are machineries used in crop

production. They are used in huge land preparation and in transporting
farm inputs and products. These equipment need a highly skilled
operator to use.

Once you know your tasks or farm job you can right away
decide what tools/equipment you are going to prepare considering the
type of works and size of area since the specification of task in the farm
governs what tools/equipment are needed or to be prepared. An
agriculturist should know the proper uses of the tools/equipment.

Familiarizing of tools/equipment and its functions help the

farmer to identify and prepare quickly and correctly the tools/equipment
needed for a certain farm task.

Examples:

1. Loosening of soil and removing of weeds around the plants needs

Hand cultivator and not Hand trowel because hand trowel has
different work with the Hand cultivator.

2. Preparation of a bigger land for a certain crop and it requires only a

day or two.

In task like this; we need tractor and disc plow. We don’t

need to prepare native plow because of the area, “bigger land
area”. Native plow can’t finish the vast field with in one (1) or
two (2) days. How much more the spade and other hand
tools?

Notes to the Teacher

It is very important that the conditions, errors, faults and defects of the farm
materials, tools and equipment should be checked during purchase and delivery.
Pre-operating Procedures and Standards should be followed.

What’s New

Characteristics of Materials, Tools, and Equipment

The student must relate the characteristics of the materials and its qualities.
These are the factors that must be taken into consideration when choosing the right
materials, tools, and equipment for farm use.

15
 1. Selection of material

Material selection is one of the most common tasks for farming. The ability to
assess the material’s impact on the performance of the product in the farm is
crucial especially farming requires for best and abundant production. Sometimes,
buyers are also considering the label or name of the company which are producing
great quality of materials and are known in the market.

2. Testing of material

The testing of material properties is widely understood to be the key to obtain

success of the farm, failure analysis, and understanding material interactions.
Material testing also provides information on the quality of incoming and outgoing
products. Inspection test equipment and techniques are demonstrated for a wide
range of materials and equipment during the purchase.

3. Cost of material

The cost of material is also considered when buying or selecting materials

for a specific project. The amount may vary but never taken for granted the quality
and the reliability of the materials/equipment. Will you buy material which is less
expensive but worst quality? Will you buy material which you cannot afford? People
look for places which can meet their standards and right cost for materials to buy.

Before buying or paying of materials takes place, you should evaluate the
material options, conditions, characteristics, and requirements.
Your teacher could add several useful reference manuals and ideas
regarding the right selection of tools and materials.

The characteristic of the materials/tools to be used for specific farm project

must be:

 of good quality
- This is the most important factor when choosing materials to buy.
Products with good quality are long-lasting and safe to use because
you know that it follows certain standards before being
commercialized.

 Reliable
- It means that you can be sure that it will perform its function well,
will operate safely and will give the best it could give.

 suitable for the application/purposes

- Choose the materials which are very necessary to make the project
possible. Making a list of products/materials to buy is a good trait of
a wise consumer. Products which are not important must be crossed
out.

16
  low cost
- It doesn’t mean that you will choose for the less expensive one and
exclude the quality. Low cost means you can afford to buy the
materials without hurting your pocket and you are assured of better
quality.

Fault Identification and Reporting

These are the things to be considered when:

A. Receiving Materials:
1. Match the packing slip with the items received and ensure that the
materials are delivered to the right destination.
2. That you are receiving the materials indicated on the purchase order
about quantity and discount.
3. That the materials are in acceptable condition
4. That terms and condition are met

B. Receiving Reports
Whenever goods are received:
1. The person receiving the goods must document, using the prescribed and
right forms, that all goods were received for each requisition before any
payment can be made to the vendor.
2. Any exception must be noted so that partial payments can be processed or
defective goods can be returned.

C. Return of Merchandise
When merchandise is received which is incomplete or defective, the
supervisor will return the materials to the supplier or to the store where it was
bought and decide with the supplier for replacement.

D. Make an Inventory Report of the Materials

All materials received must be listed and be reported to monitor how
many materials are already on hand, purchased or damaged.
Effective management checks are important means of proving assurance
of the integrity and security of the benefit processes. They are also useful in
identifying farmer’s needs.
Here’s How/Methodology

The teacher will be the assessor.

The Students will be randomly assigned who:

1. acts as Quality Checker;
2. is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the checking arrangements;
and
3. must generate reports when receiving the equipment.
The Quality checker will record the date of receipt, name of the
materials purchased, quantity, official receipt number, signature of the person who
bought the materials and signed his name afterwards. The Quality checker will
identify if the materials are in good condition or damaged and /or needing
replacements. This will also be recorded on his report.

17
 Feedback

Once the Quality checker has completed all the reports, the assessor will check
if the Quality Checker provides all the data in the report.

Example of Log Report (to be completed by the Quality checker)

What is It

Checking of faults and defects of farm materials, tools and equipment

Effective management checks are important means of providing assurance of
the integrity, security, and productivity of materials and the farm.

Firm checking of the condition of the materials is one of the keys to success
in farming. The errors and the defects of the farm materials could not be identified
right away if there is no strict checking upon paying and receiving the materials and
this will lead the farmers to failure because it’s wasting of money and time.

All materials received must be checked, listed and be reported to monitor how
many materials are already on hand, purchased or damaged that need replacements.

There are two (2) forms can be used in checking the materials. These are:

1. Log Report
2. Assessment of Materials Received

18
 Example of Log Report (to be completed by the Quality checker)

Date Quality
Received O.R. # Item Name Quantity Signature Checker

The Quality checker records the date he received the materials under Date
Received, OR # of receipt, name of the materials purchased/received, quantity,
signature of the person who delivered the materials and signs his name afterwards.

This Log Report will help you (quality checker) to document the materials
delivered and can be used for future purposes.
Example of Assessment of Materials Received (to be completed by the
Quality checker)

Quality Checker: Date:

Total No. in Total No.

Item Name Comments
Good Condition of Errors

The Quality checker will write his name, the date, and the materials
received. He will identify if the materials are in good condition or damaged and /or
needing replacements, he will also write the number of the damaged materials. This
will also be recorded on his report. This Assessment of Materials form will help
you and document the faults. And without delay the defected materials will be
replaced.
