Soil preparation is one of the most energy and time-consuming activity in farming. Soil preparation is one of the keys to achieve successful cultivation. The objective of soil preparation is to provide the essential environment and soil conditions for the proper growth of the plants. Soil preparation is also a costly process as it requires many steps to work on the soil in order to create good soil conditions.
To reduce the soil compaction and the operating cost of soil tilling many farm equipment and machinery manufactures have tried to decrease the number of passes required for soil preparation. Machinery like a rotary tiller and a power harrow are potential devices to work as a subsoiler.
A rotary tiller is very significant tillage equipment that is not only capable of performing primary but also secondary tillage and reduces the cost of seedbed preparation. A rotary tiller is made of a simple structure that is highly efficient and consists of a series of blades which swirl up the earth to plough the land.
In the agricultural land, where the crop is produced regularly, the soil becomes poor in nutrients because of nonstop productivity, resulting in inefficiency. Thus, farmers use fertilizer in the soil, chemicals to fight pests, irrigation and other processes of agricultural to make it more efficient.
A Rotavator can play a very important role in double or different crop systems in agriculture where the time for soil preparation is very less or limited. It is best used for mixing fertilizers or manure into the soil and preparing a seedbed. It offers an advantage of better pulverisation, superior soil mixing, fastest seedbed preparation and reduced draft in comparison to conventional tillage. More or less Rotavator is the best alternative for the extreme chemical fertilizers use and to improve benefits to cost ratio for farmers.
