- 3. An agricultural implement used for turning and loosening the soil, preparing it for sowing seeds. It plays a crucial role in soil aeration and weed control and can be attached to tractors for mechanized farming.
- 6. A multifunctional agricultural machine that performs the tasks of harvesting, threshing, and cleaning grain crops in a single pass. Combines significantly reduce the time and labor required for harvesting.
- 8. A substance added to soil to enhance its nutrient content and fertility. Fertilizers provide essential nutrients to plants, promoting healthy growth and increased agricultural output.
- 9. A machine that cuts and binds grain crops into manageable bundles, facilitating the collection of harvested crops. Binders streamline the harvesting process, making it more efficient for farmers.
- 10. A powerful vehicle utilized in farming to tow various implements such as plows, harrows, and trailers. It is vital for a variety of agricultural tasks, enhancing efficiency in the field.
- 11. A machine specifically designed to efficiently collect mature crops from fields. Harvesters can be specialized based on the type of crops being harvested, including grains and fruits.
- 12. A device that sows seeds into the soil at the appropriate depth and spacing. Seeders ensure efficient planting and contribute to improved crop yields by optimizing seed placement.

- 1. A machine used for evenly distributing fertilizers, seeds, or pesticides across a field. Spreaders ensure uniform application, which is crucial for effective crop management and soil health.
- 2. An implement used to break up and aerate the soil, typically between rows of crops. Cultivators help control weeds, improve soil conditions, and enhance nutrient absorption in plants.
- 4. An implement used for gathering cut crops, straw, or hay
- 5. A machine designed to cut grass or crops with precision. Mowers are commonly used in hay-making and maintaining pastures, providing a clean cut for optimal regrowth.
- 7. A system or machine that supplies water to crops in a controlled manner, essential for farming in arid regions or during dry spells. Irrigators help ensure consistent moisture levels for optimal crop growth.
