Abstract/Description: | The seedbed and planting operations consume nearly 20% of the energy required from sowing to marketing and hence the choice of type of implement for seed bed preparation and sowing determines the economics of cotton cultivation. The available models of planters which can be used for cotton planting are tractor-drawn ridger seeder, tractor drawn pneumatic precision planter and tractor-cultivator mounted seeder. The above three implements were evaluated for their performance in cotton crop production. The standard deviation, coefficient of variation and deviation from the recommended depth were low in ridger seeder when compared to other seeders. Thus more uniform depth of seed placement was obtained with the ridger seeder. The planting operation with ridger seeder, pneumatic planter and cultivator seeder resulted in 44.00, 42.85 and 41.64% saving in cost, respectively, when compared to conventional method. Among the three implements, the savings in cost was high in the ridger seeder treatment. There was a savings of 96.4, 96.3 and 96.2% in time by the ridger seeder, pneumatic planter and cultivator seeder, respectively, when compared to manual sowing. |
