ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the field performance of developed an intercultivator cum fertilizer applicator for small tractor with high clearance was carried out Main Agriculture Research Station, Raichur. The modified small tractor with the developed intercultivator cum fertilizer applicator prototype was evaluated in terms of weeding efficiency, plant damage and draft. The performance of small tractor operated intercultivator-cum-fertilizer applicator was evaluated at three different forward speeds (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 km h-1) with three soil moisture contents (12%±1, 14%±1 and 16%±1) for three types of blades (Straight type, V-shape type and crescent type) in redgram crops research farm at UAS Raichur. Both the intercultivation and fertilizer application operations can be simultaneously done in single operation. The better performance of small tractor operated intercultivator cum fertilizer applicator was achieved at a forward speed of 2.0 km h-1 with a moisture content of 14% ±1 for V-shape type blade.
