บทคัดย่อ (EN): Adoption of mechanisation in agricultural operations has led to significant improvement in agricultural productivity and sustainability. The impacts of mechanized land preparation on soil properties and mechanised weed control on regeneration of weeds in rubber plantations were examined in field experiments. The land preparation methods evaluated were (a) pitting, terracing and tilling inter rows by Hitachi (b) pitting and terracing by Hitachi (c) pitting by tractor mounded hole digger and manual terracing and (d) Standard practice - manual pitting and terracing. The trial was laid out in a randomised block design with 4 replications. Soil samples were collected from the inter row area of individual plots to determine the mechanical properties, bulk density, porosity and soil organic carbon content before and after the treatment imposition. The results of the study indicated that pitting, terracing and tilling inter rows by Hitachi lead to significantly higher porosity, lower bulk density and soil organic carbon compared to untilled treatments. The rate of soil erosion in pitting, terracing and tilling inter rows by Hitachi was 28 per cent more than the no tilled treatments. Comparative cost analysis revealed that pitting and terracing by Hitachi saves around 50 per cent of cost of cultivation compared to the standard method (manual) of land preparation. In the evaluation of weed control methods, the treatments included were slashing of weeds with sickle (manual weeding), spraying of herbicide (glyphosate 2L/ha) and mechanical weeding by weed cutters. The results showed that weed control was most effective in herbicide applied plots and regeneration of weeds occurred only 60 days after treatment imposition. In manual and mechanical weed control methods, the weeds attained 100 percent of regeneration 75 and 90 days after treatment imposition, respectively. The economics of different weed control methods showed that the weeding cost can be reduced by 65 and 75 percent by chemical and mechanical weed control methods compared to manual method.
