Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Laser land levelling is an important technology which uses laser-guided equipment to level the farm fields accurately, thus ensuring uniform distribution of water across the field, reducing water loss due to uneven terrain and resulting in improved crop yield.
2 Laser levelling is a process of smoothening the land surface by using laser equipped drag buckets to achieve precision in land levelling.
3 There is substantial demand for laser land levellers among farmers which has led to increased production of these machines in the country. To ensure the quality of these levellers, the standard is being brought out. This standard would serve as a tool to test and establish the performance of tractor-drawn laser land levellers.
4 This standard covers terminologies, requirements and method of testing for tractor drawn laser leveller in respect of performance of operation and soundness of construction. It also covers the assessment of the evaluative requirements applicable for qualifying minimum performance criteria of the laser land leveller.
