Abstract

This study explores how mechanization could support oil seed production in India in line with the self-sufficiency objectives of the yellow revolution. The text highlights the limitations, such as low yields and reliance on imports, and highlights how mechanization can increase productivity, profitability, and resource usage. Particular mechanized techniques for different stages such as field preparation, sowing, weed management, and harvesting are explored with an emphasis on groundnut, Castor, Sunflower, Rapeseed, Soybean and sesame cultivation. This review paper promotes broader adoption of mechanization as a crucial tactic to accomplish sustainable growth in oil seed production and reduce dependence on imports.
