dc.description.abstractIndian soils are poor in nitrogen. Nearly 1/3 rd of Indian soils are acidic. Food shortage in 1960s necessitated Green Revolution, ushering in the use of high dose of chemical fertilizers and poisonous plant protection chemicals adversely affecting the health of the soil. But long term use of these fertilizers causes degradation of soil, compaction and reduces soil fertility. Organic manures when incorporated into the soil it add nutrients it. Application of FYM improves soil fertility therefore there is wide scope to its application. FYM contains almost all the essential nutrient required for soil The addition of farm yard manure to the field is carried out traditionally. So there IS scope of work to distribute the farm yard manure uniformly on the soil surface. By considering these aspects. Tractor Operated FYM Applicator was developed and designed components were fabricated and mounted on cultivator frame.Projections of 15 plates of metal flat were given on pipe of 2500 mm length. The distance between two projections was taken as 145 mm. Each plate had dimensions 80 mm x 25 mm x 5 mm. Agitator was designed and fabricated in such a way that group of three metal plates form one helix for maximum working effectively. The drilling attachment consisted of PVC pipes of 100 mm diameter, can be attached to the outlets and joined to back of tyne so that proper drilling of material in furrow. Spreading attachment consisted of five number of spouts attached to the outlets, which spreads manure to the surface of field. The whole assembly was fabricated and mounted on cultivator frame. The power was given by PTO shaft. The speed of agitator decided as selected as 170 rpm. The test results of applicator indicated that, the draft required for drilling and spreading of FYM was 825 and 800 kg respectively. The FYM application rate was 2236 kg/ha. The field efficiency of drilling and spreading operation was 72 and 70 % respectively. The material was drilled properly in the furrow with application rate of 1132 kg/h and for spreading it was 1086.72 kg/h. The operational working time for both the operation was 24 and 25 minutes respectively. The fuel consumption observed as 1.95 and 1.92 1/h for drilling and spreading operation respectively. The satisfactory performance was observed for both drilling and spreading operation.en_US
