Abstract (AB)Labour intensive operations for sugar cane and food crop cultivation have been identified by the Mechanization Division of the MSIRI in view to carry out research aimed at minimizing the impact of labour shortage and cost. Ways and means of reducing production costs and sustaining productivity are suggested and problems arising from increased mechanization are considered. The strategy adopted to carry out the research programme is developed.
