SEED CUM FERTILIZER DRILL CALIBRATION TEST RIG APPARATUS

(0 customer review)

A Seed-cum-Fertilizer Testing Rig is a valuable tool in agricultural research and equipment testing, offering several benefits for optimizing seed and fertilizer application.

  1. Precision in Application – The rig helps in evaluating the accuracy of seed and fertilizer placement, ensuring optimal spacing and depth for better crop growth.
  2. Improved Equipment Performance – Manufacturers use it to test and refine seed-cum-fertilizer drills, improving efficiency and minimizing wastage.
  3. Enhanced Crop Yield – Proper testing ensures that seeds and fertilizers are distributed evenly, leading to better germination and nutrient availability.
  4. Cost Savings – Reducing seed and fertilizer waste directly lowers input costs for farmers.
  5. Time Efficiency – By verifying equipment performance before field use, farmers can avoid operational delays and maximize productivity.
  6. Environmental Conservation – Testing helps optimize fertilizer use, reducing excessive application and preventing soil and water contamination.
  7. Adaptability Across Soil Types – It allows researchers to assess how different soil conditions affect seed and fertilizer distribution, enabling better equipment design.

FEATURES

It is necessary to test and determine the soundness of construction and field performance of seed-cum fertilizer drill so that uniformity of sowing is ensured by avoiding wastage of seeds.

Field tests are conducted for performance.

  1. Field operation
  2. Placement
  3. Power requirement for trailed/mounted
  4. Field efficiency
  5. Ease of operation
  6. Suitability and soundness of construction

Seed drill calibration apparatus is used for below Laboratory tests as per IS 6316.

  1. Metering Test- Calibration and seed damage determination
  2. Uniformity of seeding Test- Sticky Belt / Sand Bed method
