Development and performance evaluation of a precision seeder for sustainable rice cultivation by Prabhat Kumar Guru, Atul Kumar Shrivastava, Suryakanta Khandai, Rabe Yahaya, Sudhanshu Singh, Virender Kumar, Priyanka Tiwari, Manoj Kumar

“…To address these challenges, a precision hill seeder was developed and evaluated under puddled soil conditions to enhance efficiency, productivity, and nitrogen use efficiency in rice cultivation. The self-propelled machine features a 4 hp air-cooled diesel engine, adjustable seed and fertilizer boxes, an inclined seed plate metering unit, and a float-and-furrow system, enabling precise seeding with consistent hill-to-hill spacing and simultaneous deep fertilizer placement. …”
