Overview
Mechanization will help in timely completion of field operations, improving
the efficacy of field operations, increasing cropping intensity and economize
the cost of cultivation.
Weeds pose a major problem in rice; especially those planted with SRI
technique/Direct Seeded Rice.
Mechanical control of weeds along with
chemicals is an effective option.
The time available for sowing of wheat following rice is limited particularly in
rainfed/partially irrigated areas.
The delayed sowing of wheat leads to
significant reduction in its yield.
Use of seed drills for planting wheat/pulses/coarse cereals enables farmers to cover large area in a short
period and utilization of residual soil moisture.
Besides, seed drill sowing leads to uniform crop stand and row spacing which require less quantity of
seed and facilitates inter-culture operations.
Tractor drawn rotavator or turbo seeder pulverizes the soil, chops and mixes
crop residues in the soil.
The farm implements, particularly rotavator, turbo seeder, seed drill, multi
crop planter and multi crop harvester should conform to ISI standards or
certified by Farm Machinery Training & Testing Institutes of Government
of India, CIAE, Bhopal or SAUs.
