Planting Characteristics
- Precise crop plantation geometry
- Maintains consistency in all the three axes [x:y:z] – [Row to row, plant to plant: Depth]
- Optimum plant population required can be adjusted
- Efficient soil pre-preparation with raised beds and furrows can be done simultaneously.
- Good planting precision helps increase light and air ventilation, reducing pest infestation
- Optimum plantation depth below the soil reduces post-plantation mortality
- Bed planting facilitates micro irrigation and furrow planting facilities flood irrigation practices by the farmers
- Comfortable seating reduces the farm drudgery index
- Substantial increase in onion yield and post-harvest quality
- Same machine is useful for multiple crops like Onion, Garlic, Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc
