A tractor operated rotary assisted broad bed former-cum-seeder was designed and developed
at ICAR-Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bhopal, India. The basic aim of this
development was to perform rotary tillage followed by broad bed formation, sowing and
reshaping of bed by using dumbbell shape re-shaper. Performance of developed machine was
evaluated and compared with flatbed sowing for soybean and wheat crops at ten randomly
selected farmer’s field in vertisol. The field capacity and fuel consumption of developed machine
were found as 0.32 ha/h and 15 l/ha respectively. The grain yield under broad bed seeded
soybean was found 0.96 t/ha, however, conventionally sown soybean yielded 0.71 t/ha. Thus, the
yield gain in soybean crop under broad bed technology was found 35.95%. The yield of broad
bed and conventionally sown wheat, were found 4.99 and 4.15 t/ha, respectively. Therefore,
grain yield increased by 20% in wheat crop due to the sowing with developed machine under
broad bed conditions. This machine saved 17.3% cost of operation as compared to the traditional
flatbed sowing.
