Agricultural Engineering Development in Nigeria

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE is a compilation of books and monograms in agricultural engineering education, providing information on technologies involved in the transformation of traditional agricultural practices into the emerging mechanization through machine-based agriculture. This include the use of mechanical power sources such as tractors etc. to increase production to the use of renewable resources and improved crops and animal breeds to genetic engineering, the more sophisticated robotic engineering, Artificial Intelligence, abstract remote machine controls, GIS-based system analysis for waste disposal and imaging systems for spatial real-time integrations. The historic documentation of timelines of agricultural development from the prehistoric era to the Stone Age, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, (the industrial/machine revolution) and 4th Hi-Tech remote agricultural revolution are contained in this series. AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE series also composed of materials in technological practices involved in land preparation, tillage practices, crop planting, harvest and materials processing. Titles in this series include:  Fundamental principles of agricultural engineering practice  Timeline of agricultural mechanization  Agricultural engineering development in Nigeria  Farm power and machinery operations  Agricultural machinery & mechanization  Agricultural engineering: principles and practice (Vol 1)  Agricultural engineering: principles and practice (Vol 2)  Farm tractor systems: operations and maintenance  Agricultural tillage & crop planting machinery
