Agricultural engineering includes multi disciplines and technology practices to
the well-organized production and processing of food, feed, fiber and fuels. It
involves multi disciplines like mechanical engineering (agricultural machinery
and automated machine systems), soil science (crop nutrient and fertilization,
etc.), environmental sciences (drainage and irrigation), plant biology (seeding
and plant growth management), animal science (farm animals and housing) ,etc.,
Areas of interest to Agricultural Engineers
