Farm machinery testing in Malaysia
Paper presented at International workshop on agricultural
machinery testing technology, 11-20 Oct (1986) Beijing, China
Author : Ooi, H.S.
ABSTRACT
The research agencies involved in farm machinery research
and development (R&D) in Malaysia include MARDI, PORIM, RRIM,
SIRIM and the universities. Testing of farm machinery to
overcome existing mechanisation problems forms an important
part of the R&D work. The private sector has begun to show to
show interest in conducting certain aspects of mechanisation
research and is constantly looking out for new and more
suitable machines for use in the estates and for contract
hiring services. Private contractors play a very important
role in the mechanisation of rice cultivation in the country
through their custom hiring services in land rotavation and
combine harvesting. Steps are being taken to ensure better
coordination in the testing of farm machinery in the country.
ABSTRAK>
Agensi-agensi yang terlibat dalam penyelidikan dan
pembangunan jentera ladang termasuk MARDI, PORIM, RRIM, SIRIM
dan universiti-universiti. Ujian jentera bagi mengatasi
masalah mekanisasi yang sediaada adalah sebahagian besar
kerja-kerja penyelidikan dan pembangunan tersebut. Pihak
swasta sedang menunjukkan minat dalam beberapa aspek kajian
mekanisasi dan sentiasa mencari jentera yang baru dan lebih
sesuai untuk digunakan di estet dan untuk perkhidmatan sewaan
kontrak. Pihak kontrak jentera ini sedang memainkan peranan
yang mustahak dalam penjenteraan penanaman padi di negara
menerusi perkhidmatan sewaan tersebut dalan pembajakan putar
tanah sawah dan penuaian padi. Langkah-langkah sedang diambil
untuk menyelaraskan ujian jentera ladang di negara ini.
