The Author:
Alexis T. Belonio is a Professional Agricultural Engineer. Presently, he is an Associate
Professor and Chairman of the Department of Agricultural Engineering and Environmental
The contents of the book are series of questions and problems to make the students
recall the fundamental theories and concepts in agricultural engineering. Most
questions are tricky and practical in nature to test whether the students has digested
the principles in each of the different subject matter in agricultural engineering. At
the end of the book, the answer key for each question and problem are provided.
This is the first of the three volumes of the Reviewer. The content deals with the
power sources in agriculture, the different agricultural machines and equipment for
production and post production operation , the design and manufacturing aspects
of the machines, and the mechanization and management aspect.
This book is still in draft form and is produced in limited copies. Additional items
will be included in the future to make this material more comprehensive.
Comments and suggestions are welcome for the improvement of this manuscript.
God bless and may this book become useful to you at the moment!
