An Effect of Selected Parameter on the Field Performance of Sweep Attached with Pulverizing Roller Type Mechanical Weeder in Inter Row
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Weed control is the most expensive and important farm practice in the crop production system. Mechanical weed control method will facilitate easy and timeliness operation and also improve the soil aeration and water intake capacity. Keeping in view the importance of a mechanical method of weed control, sweep attached with helical type pulverizing roller was developed and tested in actual field condition to evaluate the performance through weeding efficiency and plant damage. It was found that the maximum weeding efficiency of 73.64 percent and minimum plant damage of 7.8 percent was obtained at 1.0 kmph forward speed of operation with 50 mm depth of cut.
