Title of the Lesson
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

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
