Pulverization characteristics of clay soil

Modified strip tillage blades for two-wheel tractor seed drills improves maize crop establishment under conservation agriculture

“…Power requirement was positively associated with increasing blade rotational speed blades, confirming observations made by Matin et al (2015) , Hassan (1980) , and Niyamapa et al (1994) . More power was required for C-shaped than modified blades ( Fig.…”

Optimal design and setting of rotary strip-tiller blades to intensify dry season cropping in Asian wet clay soil conditions

“…The rotary power requirement for conventional tillage was 19–29% less for bent C blades than L blades ( Asl and Singh, 2007a , 2007b ; Sharda and Singh, 2004 ). Hassan (1980) alternatively reported that wedge-shaped blades minimize soil cutting energy requirements for tillage. In contrast, straight C blades can produce high quality seedbed furrow while minimizing soil throw and increasing furrow backfill ( Matin et al, 2014 ).…”
