6.0 INTERCULTURE EQUIPMENT
6.1 DRYLAND PEG
WEEDER
|
|
Features:
The dry land weeder (peg type) is manually operated weeder suitable
for operation between the crop rows. It consists of a roller, which
has two mild steel discs joined by mild steel rods. The small diamonds
shaped pegs are welded on the rods in a staggered fashion. The
complete roller assembly is made of mild steel. The V shaped blade
follows the roller assembly and is mounted on the arms.. The height of
the blade can be adjusted according to the working depth. The arms are
joined to the handle assembly, which is made from thin walled pipes.
The height of the handle can also be adjusted according to the
requirement of the operator. For removing weeds it is repeatedly
pushed and pulled in between the crop rows in the standing position.
The diamonds shaped pegs penetrate into the soil and the rolling
action pulverize the soil. The blade in the push mode penetrates into
the soil and cuts or uproots the weeds.

Uses:
The weeder is used for removing weeds in vegetable gardens, basins of
orchard trees and Vineyard plantations. It is also used for breaking
the soil crust and creation of soil mulch.
Cost of Machine: Rs.800/- |
6.2 CONO WEEDER
|
|
Features
The weeder consists of two rotors, float, frame and handle. The rotors
are cone frustum in shape, smooth and serrated strips are welded on
the surface along its length. The rotors are mounted in tandem with
opposite orientation. The float, rotors and handle are joined to the
frame. The float controls working depth and does not allow rotor
assembly to sink in the puddle. The cono weeder is operated by pushing
action. The orientation of rotors create a back and forth movement in
the top 3 cm of soil and helps in uprooting the weeds.

6.3 WHEEL HAND HOE
|
|
Features:
The wheel hand hoe is a widely accepted weeding tool for doing weeding
and interculture in row crops. It is a long handled tools operated by
pushing and pulling action. The number of wheel varies from one to
two and the diameter depends upon the design. The frame has provision
to accommodated different types of soil working tools such as,
straight blade, reversible blades, sweeps, V -blade, tine cultivator,
pronged hoe, miniature furrower, spike harrow (rake) etc. It can be
operated by a single person. All the soil working components of the
tool are made from medium carbon steel and hardened to 40-45 HRC. For
operation, the working depth of the tool and handle height is adjusted
and the wheel hoe is operated by repeated push- pull action which
allows the soil working components to penetrate into the soil and
cut/uproot the weeds in between the crop rows. With this action, the
weeds also get buried in the soil.

6.4 POWER TILLER OPERATED SWEEP TYNE CULTIVATOR
|
|
Features:
This machine has been specially designed for operation with a power
tiller of 6-8 hp (4.5-6.0 kW) to perform interculture operations in
standing crop in soybean, sorghum, Bengal gram, pigeon pea etc where
the row spacing is wide enough for the power tiller to pass without
damaging the plants. A depth control wheel is provided at its rear for
maintaining uniform depth of operation. It is suitable for medium and
light soils. It is provided with a ground wheel for operating the
metering mechanism. Some of its major components are the main frame
with hitch system, handle, and drive wheel and tynes.

SELF-PROPELLED POWER WEEDER
|
|
Features
A iesel engine operates the weeder. The engine power is
transmitted to ground wheels through V belt-pulley. A tail wheel
is provided at the rear to maintain the operating depth. Weeding
is done by the rotary weeding attachment. The rotary weeder
consists of three rows of discs mounted with 6 numbers of curved
blades in opposite directions alternatively in each disc. These
blades when rotating enable cutting and mulching the soil. The
width of coverage of the rotary tiller is 500 mm and the depth of
operation can be adjusted for weeding and mulching the soil in the
cropped field.
