Role of Laser Land Leveller in Multi Cropping Farming Systems

Many Indian farmers struggle with uneven fields. Water does not reach every corner of the field. Some areas get too much water, and some areas stay dry. This is a big problem, especially when you want to grow two or three crops in a year. A laser land leveler solves this problem by making your field perfectly flat so water spreads evenly everywhere. In this blog, you will learn how this machine helps in multi cropping farming, saves water, and increases your income.

What is a Laser Land Leveller?

A laser land leveller is a farm machine that levels your field using laser technology. It is attached to a tractor. A laser beam guides the blade to move the soil from high areas to low areas until the field becomes completely flat. Once your field is levelled, it stays flat for 3 to 4 seasons. You do not have to level it again and again. 

Role of Laser Land Leveller in Multi Cropping Farming

Multi cropping means growing more than one crop on the same land in a single year, like wheat after paddy or vegetables after maize. For this system to work well, your field must be ready quickly and properly between each crop.

Here is how the Laser Land Leveller helps:

Faster field preparation: After harvesting one crop, a levelled field is ready for the next crop much faster. You save time and start the next season without delay.

Water saving: A uniform field requires 25 - 30 percent less water for irrigation. This is very important for farmers in water scarce states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Less water used means more crops are possible in a year.

Better crop yield: When water spreads evenly, every seed gets the same amount of moisture. This leads to 10 to 15 percent more yield per season. More yield in Rabi and Kharif seasons means more income for your family.

Fewer weeds: An even field has less standing water, which means fewer weeds grow between your crop seasons. You spend less money and time on weed removal.

Which Crops Benefit the Most?

The Laser Land Leveller works well for almost all major Indian crops:

For paddy farmers, a levelled field is also perfect for Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), which saves water and labour. The government of India is actively promoting DSR along with laser levelling.
