Farm tools, implements, and equipment play very important role in agricultural crop
production. Their availability makes the work much easier and faster. However, even if one may
have the most sophisticated tools and implements, but does not know how to use them, they are
useless. In order to do crop production operations successfully, one must have a good working
knowledge of the tools, implements and equipment before using them.

Hand Tools
Hand tools are usually light and are used without the help of animals or
machines. They are being used in performing farm activities which involve small areas
like school garden and home garden.
Examples:
Bolo is used for cutting tall grasses and
weeds and chopping branches of trees.
Crowbar is used for digging big holes

and for digging out big stones and
stumps.
Spading fork is used for loosening the

soil, digging out root crops and turning
over the materials in a compost heap.
Light hoe is used for loosening and

leveling soil and digging out furrows for
planting
Hand trowel is used for loosening the

soil around the growing plants and
putting small amount of manure fertilizer
in the soil.

Hand cultivator is used for cultivating
the garden plot by loosening the soil and
removing weeds around the plant.
Hand fork is used for inter row cultivation.
Pruning shears is for cutting branches

of planting materials and unnecessary
branches of plants.
Sprayers are for spraying insecticides, foliar fertilizers, fungicides and herbicides
