Abstract
Grassland farming plays a vital role in sustainable agricultural systems, providing forage resources for livestock production and contributing to environmental conservation. However, the labor-intensive nature of grassland management requires significant challenges for farmers. The adoption of appropriate mechanization technologies can improve efficiency, reduce labor requirements, and enhance overall productivity. This paper investigates the mechanization of grassland farming through technological variants with minimal inputs. The incorporation of sensor technologies and data analytics facilitates real-time monitoring of grass growth, enabling farmers to make decisions regarding grazing rotations and forage quality. Additionally, the utilization of smart sensors for soil moisture and nutrient content allows for targeted application of inputs, reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization. Overall, this article highlights the potential of mechanization and technological variants with minimal inputs to make efficient the grassland farming, improving productivity, sustainability and the livelihoods of farmers.
