1 Types of Equipment, Tools and Materials

What I Need to Know

LESSON 1. SUPPORT HORTICULTURAL WORK
LO 1. Prepare materials, tools and equipment for horticultural production work
LC: 1.1. Identify the required materials, tools and equipment according to lists
provided and/or teacher’s/supervisor’s instructions

Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to
identify the types of equipment, tools and materials.

What’s In
Definition of terms:
• Hand tools – objects that are usually light and are used without the help of animals
and machines
• Farm implements – accessories pulled by animals or mounted to machineries to
make the work easier
• Equipment – powered tool machine used in farming

What’s New

Farm tools, implements and equipment play very important role in agricultural crop
production. Their availability makes the work easier and faster. However, even if one may
have the most sophisticated tools, implements, but does not know how to use them, they are
useless. In order to do crop production operations successfully, one must have a good
working knowledge of the tools, implements and equipment before using them.

What Is It
Equipment

These are machineries used in horticultural operations especially in vegetable

production. They are used in land preparation and in transporting farm inputs and products.
This equipment needs a highly skilled operator to use.
1. Hand tractor is used to pull a plow and harrow in preparing a large area of land.

1
2. Four wheel tractor is used to pull disc plow and disc harrow in preparing much bigger
area of land.

3. Water pumps are used to draw irrigation water from a source.

Farm Implements

These are accessories which are being pulled by working animals or mounted to
machineries (hand tractor, tractor) which are usually used in the preparation of wide land.
These are usually made of a special kind of metal.
Plows. These are farm implements used in horticultural operations either pulled by a
working animal or a tractor. The plow is specifically used for tilling large areas, making
furrows and inters row cultivation.
Plows pulled by working animals are made of either a combination of metal or wood or pure
metal. They are used to till areas with a shallower depth than that of the disc plows which
are pulled by tractors.
Other materials, tools and equipment

1. Water pails – for hauling water, manure and fertilizers

2. Sprinklers – for watering seedlings and young plants
3. Wheel barrow – for hauling trash, manures, fertilizers, planting materials and other
equipment
4. Sprayers – for spraying insecticides
, foliar fertilizers, fungicides and herbicide

Wheel barrow Sprinkler

What’s More

Hand Tools
 Hand tools are usually light and are used without the help of animals or machines.
They are being used in performing farm activities which involve small areas like school
garden and home garden.

Bolo is used for cutting of grasses and

weeds, loosening and pulverizing the soil

Crowbar is used for digging big holes

and for digging out big stones and
stumps.

Pick-mattock is used for digging canals,

breaking hard topsoil and for digging up
stones and tree stumps.

Grab-hoe is used for breaking hard

topsoil and pulverizing soil.

Shovel is used in removing trash, digging

loose soil, moving soil from one place to
another and for mixing soil media.

Rake is used for cleaning the ground and

levelling the topsoil.

Hand trowel is used for loosening the soil

around the growing plants and putting small
amount of manure in the soil.
 Hand cultivator is used for cultivating the garden
plot by loosening the soil and removing young
weeds around the plant.

What’s More

It has been mentioned earlier that tools, implements and equipment facilitate work
conveniently but then a user must bear in mind that knowledge on the usability of these tools
lead a safe and successful endeavour. Before using any of the tools, implements, and
equipment, always check whether or not they are still usable or serviceable. Always check or
refer to the manual of operations as prescribed by the manufacturer for other tools and
equipment that are new to you. Always ask the assistance of skilled operator whenever
necessary.
Tools that are defective should be separated and be fixed immediately to avoid accident.

 Cultivation tools
 Plant propagation tools
 Harvesting tools

Instructions:

The learner will do the following instructions.

1. Make a list of farm tools used in:

 Land preparation
 Cultivation
 Plant propagation
 Harvesting
2. Write the functions of each tools
3. Compile the listing in one folder and submit to your teacher

Summary

Farm tools, implements and equipment play very important role in agricultural crop
production. Their availability makes the work easier and faster. However, even if one may
have the most sophisticated tools, implements, but does not know how to use them, they are
