| dc.description.abstract | A 8-row rotary seed box type tractor operated Rice-Wheat seeder with auto depth control system was developed and tested in paddy and wheat crops in Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa (Bihar) for seed rate, field capacity, field efficiency, seeding efficiency and economics of use in comparison to the versatile tractor operated seed drill. The seed rate was 20.63 to 21.67kg/ha in medium sized paddy seeds, upon seed weight varying between 4kg to 2kg per box. The seed rate in long kernel variety was varying between 20.48 to 21.86kg/ha, upon variation in seed weight per box from 4.0 to 1.0kg. The seed refilling time was 2.11 hours and 3.17 hours in medium and long kernel paddy varieties. The results were with opening of 44 holes of 10.0mm diameter hole and 22 holes of 8mm diameter, on each seed box. In Wheat, the seed rate was 97.86kg/ha upon opening of 44 holes 10.0mm diameter and 22 holes of 5mm diameter with 4.0 kg seed per box. With reduction in seed quantity from 3.0 to 2.0kg per box and upon opening of 44 holes of 10.0mm diameter holes on each seed box, the seed rate had changed from 102.79 to 107.18kg/ha. The developed machine and seed drill had registered field capacity 0.24ha/h and 0.23ha/h at field efficiency 88.88% and 88.46%, respectively. Rice-Wheat seeder and seed drill both had seeding efficiency 97.30% and 96.04%, respectively in wheat crop. However, in paddy crop, the above two machines had registered 95.40% and 93.90% seeding efficiency, respectively. The cost of use of Rice-Wheat Seeder was Rs.3793.54/ha in comparison to the Seed drill (Rs.3703.04/ha), upon operation of both the machines by tractor. | en_US |
