Abstract
Today’s era is marching towards the rapid growth of all sectors including the agricultural sector. To meet the future food
demands, the farmers have to implement the new techniques which will not affect the soil texture but will increase the
overall crop production. This Paper deals with the various sowing methods used in India for seed sowing and fertilizer
placement. The comparison between the traditional sowing method and the new proposed machine which can perform a
number of simultaneous operations and has number of advantages. As day by day the labor availability becomes the great
concern for the farmers and labor cost is more, this machine reduces the efforts and total cost of sowing the seeds and
fertilizer placement.
1. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy and it will continue to remain so for a long time. It has to
support almost 17 percent of world population from 2.3 percent of world geographical area and 4.2 percent of world’s
water resources. The present cropping intensity of 137 percent has registered an increase of only 26 percent since 1950-
51. The net sown area is 142 Mha. The basic objective of sowing operation is to put the seed and fertilizer in rows at
desired depth and spacing, cover the seeds with soil and provide proper compaction
Over the seed. The recommended row to row spacing, seed rate, seed to seed spacing and depth of seed placement vary
from crop to crop and for different agricultural and climatic conditions to achieve optimum yields and an efficient sowing
machine should attempt to fulfill these requirements. In addition, saving in cost of operation time, labor and energy are
other advantages to be derived from use of improved machinery for such operations. A traditional method of seed sowing
has many disadvantages. This paper is about the different types of methods of seed sowing and fertilizer placement in the
soil And developing a multifunctional seed sowing machine which can perform simultaneous operations.
