A seed cum fertilizer applicator was developed at FAE, IGKV, Raipur in the past years for the sowing operation of paddy in rows and it also maintain plant to plant distance along with fertilizer application, but some problems were observed during the operation of this machine. Dropping of seed and fertilizer from the drums encountered the problem of gathering of seeds in the chute. The seeds sown were left uncovered resulting in losses due to birds. | Modification of animal drawn drum type seed cum fertilizer applicator for direct seeded rice
