| Abstract: | Agricultural machinery involves use of
equipment and machines that are required to perform various crop production
activities. The use of agricultural machinery leads to better utilization of
inputs and improvement in agricultural operations, particularly in large scale
crop production. Most of the earlier innovations in India in this sector were on
tractors and drillers. There has been an increase in the innovations in
machinery in the pre-harvest as well as post-harvest operations. The present
study attempts to analyse patenting activity to identify current innovations on
agricultural machinery in India.
Analysis of published applications revealed that the area of irrigation and
post-harvest processing had the maximum filing. In the case of granted patents,
majority of the patents belong to the area of plant growth and post-harvest
operations. The analysis reveals the specific patent portfolios and the scope
of future innovations in the agriculture engineering sector. |
