“…One week before of striptill the soil, pre-planting non-selective herbicide, Roundup® (glyphosate 41 % SL-IPA salt), was applied @ 75 mL/ 10 L water (2.25 L ha -1 ). Then the land was strip-tilled at 20 cm apart by a locally made 2WT-driven power tiller named Versatile Multi-Crop Planter (VMP) [4]. The land was fertilized with phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and zinc @ 20, 35, 10 and 1.5 kg ha -1 as triple super phosphate, muriate of potash, gypsum and ZnSO4, respectively just before strip tillage.…”

“…By contrast, non-puddled transplanting is an emerging option to overcome these problems and also reduce cost of rice cultivation [4][5][6]. Additionally, rice established by non-puddled transplanting gives similar or higher yield than that of puddled transplanted rice, but grain yield may sharply decline if weed management is not done properly [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Transplanting of rice seedlings in non-puddled soil under conservation agriculture systems is a new promising technology for which effective and economic weed control strategies have to develop. Therefore, a study was conducted in wet season rice during 2013 and 2014 with some commonly used pre-and post-emergence rice herbicides (pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, butachlor, orthosulfamuron, acetochlor + bensulfuron methyl, butachlor + propanil and 2,4-D amine) in strip tilled non-puddled field condition at Mymensingh, Bangladesh to evaluate their weed control efficacy singly or in sequences, their cost-effectiveness and residual effect on the succeeding crops like wheat and lentil. Sole application of herbicide was less effective to control all types of weed species than sequentially applied herbicides. Sequential application of pre-and late post-emergence, early post-and late post-emergence or pre-, early and late post-emergence herbicides controlled weeds by 46-98% and 43-95%, respectively in terms of weed density and biomass. Sequential application of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl followed by orthosulfamuron and butachlor + propanil provided the most effective and economic weed control under this new rice establishment practice. Moreover, the study suggested a range of effective herbicides for strip-tilled non-puddled wet season rice, but possible rotation of those herbicides in a sequential application is needed. Additionally, residue of those herbicides did not show any adverse effect on the succeeding crops of rice like wheat and lentil. However, further research is needed with various new molecules of herbicide and their residual effect on the subsequent crop as well as soil environment.

“…Just before strip tillage, the land was fertilized as per recommended practice and then the land was inundated to 3-5 cm depth of standing water for 48 hours (Haque et al 2016). Twenty fiveday-old rice seedlings of all the rice varieties were transplanted on 03 August 2013 at 15 cm spacing between hills allocating three seedlings per hill.…”

“…A local service provider (LSP) offered contract planting using VSSD to establish wheat, lentil, jute, mustard crops on more than 70 farmers' fields including several farmers who used the VSSD to make strips in untilled fields before establishing unpuddled transplanted rice [18] during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The contracted land sizes were 850 to 4500 m 2 .…”

“…The VSSD was used to make 20-40 mm wide and 40-50 mm deep tilled strips (that preserved about 80% undisturbed soil) in undisturbed flat land: Following this, strip making ponded irrigation water to soak the soil for 24 h. Rice seedlings were transplanted manually in strips [18] at 250 mm between rows and 200 mm between hills.…”

Versatile Strip Seed Drill: A 2-Wheel Tractor-Based Option for Smallholders to Implement Conservation Agriculture in Asia and Africa

Smallholders in Asia and Africa require low-cost seed drills for minimal soil disturbance while establishing various crops. A seed drill that can be drawn by the widely-available two-wheel tractor (2WT) is an attractive option for mechanization of no-till in small-sized fields. The Versatile Strip Seed Drill (VSSD) was designed with the capacity to make up to 40 mm wide and 60 mm deep strips in untilled land along with seed and basal fertilizer application in a single-pass operation, while powered by the 8.95 to 11.93 kW 2WT. An important innovation of the VSSD was to fit the seed box with both fluted roller-type seed meters for delivery of sufficient small-size seeds to achieve adequate plant density per unit row length; and vertical disk-type seed meters for precision and spaced row planting of larger seeds. Both incessant seed dropping by fluted roller seed meters and spaced planting by vertical disk type seed meters provided optimum plant populations that were generally higher than in conventional, full-tillage plots with the same rate of hand broadcasted seed and fertilizers. Time required for crop establishment by VSSD ranged from 0.13 to 0.18 ha¨h´1. When the VSSD was attached to the 2WT for crop establishment, the diesel fuel consumption varied from 4.4 to 6.1 L¨ha´1, which was lower than for most 2WT-based planters previously used in Bangladesh. In on-farm multi-locations trials, wheat crops established with the VSSD had statistically similar grain yield compared to conventional tillage; however, significantly higher grain yield was obtained from mustard and lentil, by 14% and 19%, respectively. The VSSD is a unique, minimum-soil-disturbance multi-crop planter, and can be a platform on which to build conservation agriculture systems for small farms in Asia and Africa.
