Mechanization is difficult to practice where the

Mechanization refers to the use of machines in agriculture to carry out various tasks like plowing, sowing, harvesting, and threshing. Mechanization is difficult to practice where the land is fragmented. This is because mechanization requires large tracts of land to be economically viable. If the land is fragmented into small plots, it becomes challenging to use large machines, and farmers will have to rely on manual labor. The cost of acquiring and maintaining the machines is also high. On the other hand, if the farm holding is large, the cost of acquiring and maintaining the machines can be spread over a larger area, making it economically viable to practice mechanization. If the soil fertility is low, it will affect the growth and development of crops, making it difficult to use machines for farm work. In such cases, farmers will have to rely on manual labor and soil improvement practices to improve soil fertility. The wealth of the farmer is not a determinant of the practice of mechanization. However, wealthy farmers may find it easier to acquire and maintain machines for farm work.
