Abstract

The agriculture industry in most developed countries has become the main source of their national income, and it has become impossible in light of deteriorating soil conditions and declining productivity, as well as the need to expand agricultural areas in order to achieve comprehensive agricultural development without depending on mechanization and modern agricultural machinery, and by quitting  traditional methods in agriculture . the study area was and still is the first to keep pace with technological development and the introduction of mechanization and modern agricultural machinery for all stages of agricultural operations, and for all crops in a cope with its geographical features as an agricultural area since ancient times, as the area of ​​agricultural land in it is about (7074000)Acres, which is Distributed unequally between the counties of the study area, as Table (1) will explain to us later on . The study (spatial disparity of agricultural mechanization and its impact on the production of cereal crops in Diyala Governorate) aims to show the nature of the geographical distribution of mechanization and agricultural equipment in the study area, through which the extent of progress made in any county of the study area in the agricultural field, and the prevailing agricultural patterns In any of them accordingly.The number of large field haulers with four-wheel drive and medium haulers reached (6108), as for the number of modern harvesters, it reached (510), and most of these haulers and harvesters were purchased according to the initiative of the central government and the Agricultural Initiative Loan Fund, while the rest of the agricultural equipment are A variety of uses, shapes and sizes have been clarified in Table (4) later.The study included three axes, includes first axis (the geographical distribution of agricultural mechanization in Diyala province for the year 2020), the second axis studied (the agricultural productivity of cereal crops in Diyala governorate for the year of 2019), and the third axis studied (the challenges facing the process of technological transformation towards the use of modern agricultural machinery.)
