INSTRUCTION

 Select a Technology, a product, or even a Topic that your Group wants to

disseminate/discuss with your selected Group/Audience.
 Based on this selected Technology, product, or Topic, prepare your Group Report
using the following format:

Title (As indicated above)

I. INTRODUCTION
 Introduce the Technology/product/etc
- Gear transmission power tiller with pivot mechanism is a two-wheeled agricultural
machine fitted with different type of implements which gives a smooth resistance to
all farm activities. It is powered by engine more or less 1.5 horespower and designed
to propel forward or backwards different agriculture implements. It helps in preparing
the soil, sowing seeds, planting seeds. In addition to it also helps in pumping water ,
harvesting, threshing & transporting crops. Their frame can be adopted to suit its
purpose e.g. to pull a disc plow or push a reaper harvester. They could also be
designed to be operated by walking or sitting depending on the implement it is pushing or
pulling. Its speed is controlled through its handlebars. Gear transmission power tiller
with pivot mechanism is ideal where the land side is small. For small & marginal
farmers agear transmission power tiller with pivot mechanism is the best choice.

 Student Report No. 1

 Describe the said Technology/product/etc.

- the said machine uses gear transmission and has a capability to turn easily since it has a
pivot mechanism and can be attached with several implements like Rotavator, harrower,
leveller, drum seeder, and a transplanter. And uses of a more efficient transmission that
allow a smaller power unit for the same field operations which reduces the costs of
operation. It consists of the following main parts: engine, transmission gears, clutch
brakes, and wheels.

 Indicate its significance or importance of the Technology/product/etc.

- improves timeliness of farm operations
- this can help farmer in crop establishment
- improves quality of work and products
- farmer can lessen the expenses
- it is easy to use and since equipped with pivot mechanism
- It is light and easy to manipulate in the field when it is wet or dry.
- operatates various farm implements such as; plow disc, rotary puddler, leveler, thresher,
and trailers.
- it is a complete set everything can be done using the machine from field
preparation down to crop establishment.
- uses smaller power unit for the same field operations thus lesser fuel is used

 Describe the Group/audience whom you want to share the said

Technology/product/etc., their standard of living, etc., and the expected
benefits that they can get from this Technology/product/etc.

- the audience of this seminar are the local farmers people of hilongos, leyte. The
said machine could increase the farmers efficiency, increase productivity and and
minimizes the cost in crop establishment since it can be attached with a rice tran-
planter

 In the last paragraph, youpresent the objective of this exercise which are to
prepare storyboard and Audio-visual Aides in preparation for a seminar/meeting
which you conduct

GO:

II. THE STORYBOARD

 Present here the storyboard that will guide you in the preparation of the Audio-
Visuals needed during the meeting/seminar which your group will conduct with
your proposed audience

III. THE AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS

 Select the type of Audio-Visual materials your will based on the situation
 Prepare the needed Audio-Visual materials based on the Storyboard you
prepared in Item II.
