| Abstract/Description: | Improper weed control methods can cause about 30–35% reduction in crop yield. Mechanical weed control on ridges is still a major problem. A ridge profile power weeder was designed and developed for weeding of ridge planted crops. The main working components of the weeder were cutting blades and rotor shaft. Three types of blades (L-type, C-type and Flat-type) were selected having length, width and thickness of 100 mm, 25 mm and 6 mm, respectively, operating with a rotor shaft of 18 mm in diameter. C-type blades were most suitable at gang speed of 200 rpm and 15.26±0.96% (d.b) soil moisture content with weeding efficiency, plant damage, field capacity of 91.37%, 2.66%, and 0.086 ha.h−1, respectively. Time saving with ridge profile power weeder as compared to manual weeding was 92.97 per cent. |
