India is among the largest cotton growing country in the world.
Cotton planting is conventionally done by seed drill and other
types of planter. The seeds are sown in line at a depth 30-50 mm
with two seed per hill maintaining the desired spacing between rows
and plants. In order to get desired plant population/crop stand by
other than this method, extra seed rate is used which requires
thinning of crop. This not only requires extra seed rate but also
increase cost of labour for thinning and extra time for desired
crop establishment in the field. Based on performance results
obtained in initial study, the optimum machine parameters and
dimensions were designed and developed for improved inclined cell
plate type Bt. cotton planter. The performance evaluation of
improved prototype planter was carried out under field condition
and compared with existing inclined plate type cotton planter. The
cost of planting by improved Bt. cotton planter was Rs. 380 per
hectare against Rs. 625 of the existing planter.
