The influence of scientific-technological and industrial revolution on early development of agricultural engineering

Abstract

Although the early applications of the agricultural mechanization can be dated in the I century b.c., the intensive use of the machines in agriculture started in the XIX century, as a result of the scientific and technical development. Taking this into account in this article the influence of scientific revolution and industrialization on agricultural engineering has been presented.

Počeci primene sredstava poljoprivredne mehanizacije sežu još u I vek nove ere, ali tek u XIX veku zahvaljujući naglom razvoju nauke i tehnike dolazi do značajnije primene mašina u poljoprivredi. Imajući to u vidu, u ovome radu sagledan je uticaj naučne revolucije i industrijalizacije na rani razvoj poljoprivredne tehnike.
