Abstract

The IJO-BARI seeder has been extensively tested and modified. The seeder could be used for wheat, jute, paddy, pulses and oil seeds. The orifice-agitator type metering device has been fitted with a modified frame suitable to operate manually. A seed covering device has also been incorporated to the facility. The performance of the improved seeder called IJO-BARI seeder (BAU model) was better than that of IJO-BARI seeder. The fabrication cost, weight and draft forces required that cost of sowing were found to be less than the IJO-BARI seeder.
