Crop	Any crop
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	agricultural implement
Details Of Innovation	Farmer Karsanbhai Madhabhai from Bhavnagar district of Gujarat has developed an innovative farm implement by modifying the existing plow. When using the old device for plowing the space between two furrows for inter-cropping, Karsanbhai found that the double-blade design of the plow-share uprooted and damaged some of the groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) plants, resulting in low-yield. The old device had two plow-shares (blades); hence the plants got entangled between the two. The modified version has only one blade. Hence it does not damage the crop while deep plowing between the two furrows is possible. This self-developed device costs between Rs.300/- to 325/-. It is equally usable for cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) and pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) crops.
