| Description |
A digger was developed for digging bunch type groundnuts in dry and hard soils (alfisols). It has 2 shares inclined at 120 deg to each other and chisel points for increased penetration into hard soils. A single digger unit attached to a toolbar is pulled by oxen and 2 or more diggers are tractor-drawn. The tractor-drawn 2-digger unit was tested in the field. It covered a 1 m wide strip and performed quite satisfactorily, whereas a blade-type digger failed to penetrate to the desired depth. The oxen-drawn single digger unit covered a 40 cm strip or 1 row of the crop.
