As agriculture is facing soil degradation and loss of fertility in India, the use of animal-drawn manure to evaluate the spreader performance of organic materials is the way out. This evaluation is generally efficient and also accessible to smallholder farmers. Animal energy is a renewable energy source best suited for home-level farming and local transportation.
What is Animal drawn manure spreader
Indian soils are low in nitrogen.
About 1/3 of Indian soil is acidic.
The food shortages of the 1960s required a green revolution, starting with the use of fertilizers and toxic plant protection chemicals that damaged soil health.
But long-term use of these fertilizers can lead to soil degradation, compaction, and reduced soil fertility.
Organic compost adds nutrients when added to the soil.
The application of FYM improves soil fertility.
Therefore, it is widely used.
FYM contains almost all the essential nutrients that soil needs.
Farmyard manure is traditionally added to the field.
Features of Animal drawn manure spreader
The improved fertilizer spreader consists of a steel two-wheel chassis, axle assemblies, bearings, plate mixers, spike-tooth mixers, trapezoidal manure box mounts, a beating system, and a toolbox.
Compost application rates varied from 2.
46 to 10.
06 t/ha, depending on the covered opening area from 0.
04 to 0.
16 square meters.
The coefficient of variation for fertilizer distribution uniformity varied between 18-20%.
The designed fertilizer spreader operates at 2.
63km/h in an open covered area of 0.
16m2 and requires a draft of 637 N.
Provides the required fertilizer application rate (9-10t/ha) for 637 N and 0.
46 kW, respectively within the draft power limit of the long pair.
The machine has a field capacity and field efficiency of 0.
21 ha/h and 84%, and a working speed of 2.
51 km/h.
