Enhances the utilization of biomass Facilitates proper aeration in the soil Promotes healthy growth of the root system and consequently the plant Provides earthing up effect facilitating plants to produce new roots which help additional nutrients uptake Increased yields as a result of more productive tillers, large pannicle size, more number of grains per panicle and increased grain weight _dpi\”-m

No, it is an alternative to transplantation of paddy saplings, which is a labor-intensive process involving heavy expenditure.
All parts of the drum seeder are readily available with all dealers and can also be ordered online using our website.
If used and stored carefully, the drum seeder can offer many years of satisfying service, since any damaged part can be easily replaced.
Yes, provided the fields are uniform and drainage efficient, as instructed in the users’ manual.
Because, motor driven drum seeder will increase the cost of equipment considerably, there is no service backup and the spares are not available in the market, which turns too expensive for an economical output. Therefore, this manually driven drum seeder has been specially designed for easy maneuverability and handling
Yes, our drum seeder has sowing apertures of two sizes, which are placed alternately in each row. These two sizes cover nearly all grain sizes. The plugs of the required grain size are simply pulled out and the rest remain plugged.
The lower half of the drums are specially made of transparent poly propylene so that the level of the seeds is easily visible.
The seed rate will vary with seed variety but approximately 10-12 Kgs per acre
If possible retain the packing box of the drum seeder, after sowing dismantle the drum seeder and keep it back in the packing box. Be assured that there are no rats in the storage area. Rats are known to damage plastic parts of all farming equipments.
There is subsidy available on the drum seeder, although it varies from State to State.
As per the Sub-Mission on Agriculture Mechanization 2014 (Operational Guidelines) Government of India Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, New Delhi pg 35 under Financial Assistance for procurement of agriculture machinery and equipment- 40% to 50% subsidy is available.
As pre the report of IJISET Vol I issue 9, Nov 2014- Maximum yield of 37.5 q/Ha was observed as against 27 q/ha by traditional methods.
