| Description |
A range of implements have been developed at ICRISAT for farmers in the semi-arid tropics. They include: Agribar II, used for various tillage operations and which can be fitted with a four-row planter, and simple T-bar bullock-drawn implements for making broadbeds, applying fertilizer, sowing and interrow cultivation; three different models of crust-breaker, covering one row, two rows and a metre-wide strip, to enhance the emergence of seedlings through the soil crust; a twin spinning-disc knapsack-sprayer for low-growing crops; a groundnut digger for hard soil, with chisel points to assist penetration; and a donkey-drawn cultivator-cum-seeder for sowing pearl millet and sorghum in hills and for interrow weeding on light-textured soils.
