Zusammenfassung:The dynamic consequences of machine threshing in the Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT) of Peninsular India are evaluated. Limited diffusion of threshers in the SAT of the country. Cost savings and profitability of mechanical threshing. The marked decrease in labour hiring for threshing between 1975/76 and 1978/79. The authors conclude that machine threshing did not significantly reduce costs, increase cropping intensity or greatly harm labour. (DÜI-Sen)
