What are the Advantages of Using Rotavators

Image
 A rotavator is special mechanical equipment used to till the land that uses a series of blades to swirl up the earth. They are generally used for gardening and farming. This is very profitable agricultural machinery for gardeners and farmers as the use of rotavator allows them to till the soil efficiently no matter what the soil type is. The rotavator is designed in such a way that it can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of depth in the soil. So if a farmer wants the soil to be very fine, he can adjust the trailing board to give maximum tillage and if it is needed to a limited depth then it can be adjusted to the required depth. This is also known as the crumbling effect, as a rotavator allows the soil to be crumbled to an adequate density which is best suited for vegetable farming. A rotavator is a versatile machinery that can be used on different land sizes. It is usually used as an attachment to the tractor ad needs power from the tractor to run and work on...

Impact of Rotavator as a Conservation Tillage Implement

Tillage is on the basic farming operation. It is generally done due to creating an ideal seedbed preparation and plant growth, this operation includes ploughing, harrowing and mechanical destruction of weeds and soil crust, etc.  Rotavator  is used for tillage and inter-culture operation in the preparation of seedbed requires three to four passes. Due to this, it minimizes time and energy up to 25% in the field operation in comparison to another implement. However, if we see in the context of Indian Agriculture where tractors are frequently used in 26-65 hp by a huge number of farmers, it is necessary that matching size of rotavator be available for different power ranges of tractors. Rotavator is mostly available in the size of 120-150 mm, which is suitable for a tractor having 45 hp and above. Also, due to soil type, texture, Irrigation, cropping pattern, etc., it is also necessary that different designs of rotavator require to suit particular cropping conditions. Read more:...
