Abstract
Pulses are one of the important crops in India. The traditional methods for sowing pulses are still in practice in many parts of country. They have many drawbacks and limitations; therefore it was necessary to develop equipment to overcome these drawbacks of the traditional methods of pulses sowing. Present work was undertaken with the objective to develop a manually operated single row sowing equipment. The equipment was developed at the Department of Crop Production, Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur and tested for its performance under field condition. The average number of seeds sown per meter length was 15 and sowing depth was 40 mm. The effective field capacity of no-till drill was 0.045 ha/h and the field efficiency of this equipment was about 85%, more than that of conventional method for sowing of chickpea. The functioning of seed dropping mechanism wasfound satisfactory and desirable depth of sowing was obtained.
