General Information

:

The seed cum fertilizer drill machine consists of seed box, fertilizer box, seed metering mechanism, fertilizer metering mechanism seed tubes, furrow openers, seed rate adjusting lever and transport cum power transmitting wheel. The fluted rollers are driven by a shaft. Fluted rollers, which are mounted at the bottom of the seed box, receive the seeds into longitudinal grooves of fluted roller and expel them in the seed tube attached to the furrow openers. By shifting the rollers sideways, the length of the grooves exposed to the seed, can be increased or decreased and hence the amount of seed sown is changed .The seed cum fertilizer drill is popular in northern region of the country.
