1. Agricultural Intensification
Intensification of agriculture is the processing of agricultural land which is the best way possible to increase agricultural output by using various means. Intensification of agriculture is mostly done in Java and Bali, which has a narrow agricultural land.

At first the intensification of agriculture reached by a farming program. include the following activities:
• Processing of good soil, sometime it uses tractor to create a good soil
• Regular Watering
• Selection of quality seeds
• Fertilization
• Eradication of pests and plant diseases
• Post-harvest Processing
• Marketing
2. Agricultural expanding

Is an attempt to increase agricultural output by expanding the new agricultural land, such as clearing forests and shrubs, the area around the marsh, and agricultural areas that have not used. In addition, the extension is also done by opening the tidal rice fields.
3. Agricultural Diversification
Is an attempt to diversify the type of business or agricultural crops in order to avoid dependency on one agricultural product.
Diversification of agriculture can be done in two ways, namely:
• Increase the types of agricultural activities, such as a farmer in addition to farming are also raising chickens and fish breeding.
• Increase the types of plants in a field, for example in a land other than corn planted upland rice are also grown.

4. Agricultural Mechanization
Is an attempt to increase agricultural output by using modern agricultural machinery. Mechanization of agriculture is mostly done outside the island of Java has extensive agricultural land. In the agricultural mechanization program, human and animal power rather than a major power.
5. Agriculture Rehabilitation
Is an attempt to improve agricultural land previously not productive or is not productive to productive land or replacing plants that are not productive to more productive plants.
As a follow up of these programs, the government take the following steps:
• Expand, improve and maintain the irrigation network that extends throughout the farming land
• Improving food crop production systems through the implementation of various program packages.
• Building a fertilizer factory as well as insecticide and pesticide manufacturers conducted to support the agricultural production process.

Pesticides commonly used in plant cultivation as a liquid and some form of flour, used to control weeds, pests and plant diseases. For applying liquid pesticides used sprayer called atomizer, while for powder pesticide used a tool called a duster. In its use of everyday farmers often find problems such as the use of techniques, as well as repairs and maintenance. Things like this will ultimately determine the level efisisnsi and effectiveness in its use.
Based on the use of power sprayer is divided into: hand-powered atomizer (handsprayer), and spray equipment with high pressure pump.
Working Principle Handsprayer (Spray Equipment)
The working principle is to break handsprayer atomizer liquid into fine particles that resemble grains of fog. With a smooth shape and size is the use of pesticides will be effective and equitable to the entire surface of plant leaves or canopies. To obtain fine grains, normally done by using the particle formation process using pressure (hydraulic atomization), the liquid in the tank is pumped, so having a high pressure, and finally flows through the hose into the atomizer device. Liquids with high pressure and flows through a narrow slit of the atomizer device, so that the liquid will be broken into particles so fine.
Specifications Handsprayer
In general specifications atomizer includes technical data related to:
• Volume of tank: 10-20 L
• tank capacity: 8-16 L
• Strength tank: 10-15 kg / cm 2 (140-200 psi)
• Construction materials: stainless metal plate
Completed Handsprayer Tools
Completeness of the tools necessary to operate this sprayer, among others:
1. Masks, complementary tool to cover mouth and nose so that the mist-containing pesticides do not enter into the breathing.
2. Wearing long sleeves to cover the skin surface of the hands, gloves and protective goggles.
3. Buckets, measuring cups, and plastic funnel to measure, mix, and pour the solution of pesticides applied to the tank.
Different parts of the Handsprayer (Spray Equipment) and Functions
Based on the working principles, the atomizer of this type carried a main part comprising:
1. Tank of stainless plate material, for accommodating fluid
2. Pump unit, which consists of a pump cylinder, the piston of the skin
3. Shaft pumps, for pumping liquids
4. Spray channels, consisting of valves, rubber hoses, valves and pipes are equipped with the nozzle tip section
5. Manometer, to measure air pressure in the tank
6. Belt sling
7. Rubber hose
8. Piston pump
9. Fluid flow control valves out of the tank
10. Valve controlling the flow of pressurized fluid out of the rubber hose
11. The barrel of the pipeline flow of pressurized fluid from the hose into the nozzle
12. Nozzle, to break the liquid into fine particles
Terms of Use Handsprayer
Requirements needed to operate handsprayer (atomizer), among others:
Fill the tank with liquid pesticides and reserving approximately 1 / 5 part of the tank to the room air. Once filled with fluid, the tank is pumped more or less as much as 50-80 times the pumping. To know the intensity of the air pressure inside the tank can be observed through a manometer. Some other requirements are a construction material made from stainless plates, construction parts easily removable for cleaning pumps, hoses made of rubber or plastic, the nozzle is removable and replaceable baiktipe and size of the hole. Other requirements relating to the effectiveness of pesticide application in the operation of atomizer is the condition of wind speed not exceeding 10 km / hr.

Mostly, using a hand tractor diesel engine as a driving force and is turned by a crank. Use tractor crankshaft is meant to be cheaper to buy arms, and a relatively more durable compared to other start systems. The following will explain the necessary steps in turning on and off the hand tractor, and its purpose.

Turning on hand tractors:

1. The main clutch lever positioned “OFF” or “brake”, so that the tractor was not running when turned on
2. For safety, all lever neutral position.
3. Open the fuel valve, resulting in the flow of fuel into the combustion chamber
4. Gas was raised at the position “start”, so there is a flow of fuel (diesel) is quite a lot in the combustion chamber.
5. Decompression lever is pulled with his left hand, to relieve pressure in the combustion chamber when the crank
played.
6. Crank is inserted into the crankshaft, and turn the crank clockwise a few times, so that lubricating oil can flow into the lubrication of tractor parts. Usually equipped with an indicator, to show the flow of lubricant.
7. Accelerate crank rotation, so it will generate enough power to turn the motor.
8. Release the decompression lever, to produce pressure, while the crank was still playing until the motor life.
9. After the motor of life, will crank itself apart from the crankshaft. This is due to the sloping shape crank hook.
10. Slide the lever position of the gas at the position of “idle” or stationary
11. Turn on the motor without load for about 2-3 minutes, so the process can go well lubrication
12. Tractor is ready for operation

Turning Off hand tractors:

1. Remove the motor load
2. Shrink the gas at the position of “idle” or stationary, so that engine speed will be slow, for 2-3 minutes.
3. Slide the gas lever to position “stop”, until the motor died because there was no flow of fuel into the combustion chamber.
4. Close the fuel valve

Some things to note before the tractor

1. Tractor is placed on a flat, with good air ventilation.
2. Tractors have been checked and are in good condition a few things to consider during and after the deadly tractor

Some things to consider during and after the deadly tractor:

* Gas not need to fluctuate before shut down
* Do not be hasty in deadly motorcycle
* All of the lever in neutral

Before examining Hand Tractor Operated, we have to examine it before:

Examination of hand tractors are part of the preparation of the tractor before operation. Tractor examination before the operation is very important. The first goal of this inspection conditions of the tractor can be found early, so the handling is not too difficult. There are a few things from the tractor to do the examination, namely:

a). Check nut-bolts (25 hours)

All nut-bolts and other fastener must be inspected. If left loose will result in more severe damage. Tractor parts will come loose or broken.

b). Checking V-belt (25 hours)

V-belt tension must be right. Belt is worn long enough so that the belt will inflate sagging. Loose belt will cause the slip, was too fast to be easily damaged and hamper the engine revolution.

c). Checking the fuel

The tank should be filled with enough fuel. An empty tank will cause the air into fuel lines, so that the tractor is turned hard. The tank is left empty at the time the tractor is stored will cause condensation. Eventually, the water from the condensation will be more and more accommodated in the tank. If this water into the combustion chamber will be harmful to the motor. Checking the fuel hose can be seen from the side of estimators who are in the fuel tank.

d). Checking the fuel filter (25 hours)

Commonly used type of tractor is the diesel engine. Fuel into the combustion chamber have to really clean. Dirty fuel will clog the nozzle holes. Dirt that normally settles checked on a glass bowl. To check the filter element, fuel valves must be closed first, before opening the glass bowl.

e). Checking air filter

Tractors used to work on a land full of dust, so that inhaled air is relatively dirty motor. The air filter should be in good condition, in order to filter the air perfectly. Hand tractor air filter that uses a lot of wet type. The filter was opened and inspected for cleanliness and high the surface of a wire strainer and oil cleanliness.

f). Checking the cooling system

Usually the tractor motor cooling systems use water as a coolant, both types of radiators or kondesor. Check the presence of water and sanitation ram radiator.

g). Checking the control lever / control

All of the control lever / control must operate properly. The operation of the control lever properly, the operator can operate well too. There are many levers of control that can be arranged free of motion, such as: the main clutch, brake, clutch wheel, and gas.

h). Checking tire pressure

Should be the standard tire pressure (16.5 psi). Should not be too harsh or flat. Both tire pressure should also be similar.

i) Checking the lubrication system

The parts that rub against each other, need to be lubricated, so that did not arise friction and heat. There are some parts of the tractors that need to be lubricated hands, namely:

The interior of the motor. Motor oil is collected in karter, and can be checked with the staff of estimators. Whether or not enough and dirty oil should be checked. Transmission gear. Same as motor oil, transmission gear oil need to be examined.

Steering clutch cable. Check the condition of the existing wires on the clutch cable, not to dry or even rusted. In order not to rust and stick to lubricated with oil SAE 30/40 Another part of the tractor which rub together, like fingers clutch and cam / main clutch hooks. To prevent wear, it should be lubricated with oil SAE 30/40

j). Checking tool

Implements to be operated should be well prepared. Completed tool needs to be checked. Implement the move, it should be lubricated.

k). Preparation of hand tools

Hand tools are often used, particularly those used to operate the tool, must be taken. Several types of hand tractors equipped with hand tools such baggage place. The place is usually the top tractor equipment.
