Description The farmyard manure application is a basic input operation in crop production. The application system includes equipment for loading of manure, transporting to the application sites and applying the proper quantity of manure uniformly to soil-crop systems. An experimental unit of FYM applicator was developed to accommodate different types of augers and different gear system to provide different speed ratio. The volume of manure box was 0.54 m3. Three types of transmission systems were used as, low speed, medium speed and high speed. The speed ratio between auger and ground wheel were 1.88, 2.58 and 4.10 for low, medium and high speed respectively. And three types of auger with different shape and size were used described as A1, A2 and A3. The diameter of auger was varied from 150 to 180 mm. The FYM applicator was tested with different set of transmission and conveying systems and tested in research field of dairy, College of Agriculture, IGKV Raipur (Chhattisgarh). The experimental applicator machine was tested under lab and field condition in the normal field and with normal FYM. The average moisture content and bulk density of soil was obtained 12.58% (wb) and 1.805 t/m3. The average moisture content and bulk density of FYM was obtained 22.40% (wb) and 0.450 t/m3.
The study was carried out with 9 different treatments as, T1A1, T1A2, T1A3, T2A1, T2A2, T2A3, T3A1, T3A2 and T3A3. Where T1, T2, and T3 refers to transmission system as low, medium and high speed gear arrangements and A1, A2 and A3 refers to different augers. On the basis of experimental result, it can be concluded that the draft and width of FYM application was significantly affected by the size and type of auger. The width of application varied from 135 cm to 145 cm and FYM delivery rate at outlet ranges from 4.05 to 6.92 kg/min. FYM application rate varied from 1.87 to 3.03 t/ha. The highest width of FYM application was observed with auger flat peg type-II (A3) (145 cm) followed by flat peg type-I (A2) (140 cm) and continuous spiral type (A1) (135 cm) respectively. The lowest application rate was observed in treatment T1A2 (1.87 t/ha) and the highest with treatment T3A3 (3.03 t/ha).
The draft requirement of the machine was recorded in each treatment. The draft, observed for empty machine was 170 N. With loaded machine significantly lowest draft was found with treatment T1A2 (380 N). The minimum and maximum field efficiencies were measured as 65.17 % and 67.67 % with treatment T2A1 and T3A3 respectively. Among the speed treatments, the low speed (T1) shown minimum draft requirement. Similarly among the shape and size of auger, the auger flat peg type-I (A2) required minimum draft. The spiral blade type auger (A1) has shown more draft as compared to other augers.
The use of FYM applicator with suitable transmission and conveying system found satisfactory. The manual applicator required 7 to 7.58 h (about a day) to complete FYM application in 1 hectare field, with average forward speed of 1.25 km/h. The best transmission system and auger which required minimum draft was T1A2 (Low speed transmission system with flat peg type-I auger), which can be successfully, used in the future animal/power driven FYM applicator.
