FIELD EVALUATION OF BULLOCK DRAWN COTTON PLANTER
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
Bullock drawn cotton planter was evaluated in field for cotton variety AKA-5 with objectives to test the bullock drawn cotton planter with three point linkage to make it tractor-cum bullock drawn planter. The field performance test conducted over 1 ha area and revealed that the average horse power required was 0.478 hp and average speed was 2.7 km/hr. The average effective field capacity of bullock drawn cotton planter was observed 0.486 ha/hr at the field efficiency of 89.46%. The fabrication cost of bullock drawn cotton planter was found to be Rs. 11850. In the field, it is drudgerous to plant cotton manually as it requires minimum 5 to 6 labours. To avoid labour cost, the modified bullock drawn cotton planter was tested along with three point linkage. Total cost of operations by bullock drawn cotton planter was Rs. 55.395 per hour with minimum required 2.5 labours. Total cost of operations by BD cotton planter per hectare was Rs. 127.63 per hour.
