Problem Addressed

Farmers face challenges in spraying fields due to labour shortages and technical limitations of existing equipment, which struggles with spraying mixtures containing phosphorus and sulphate. These substances, often semi-solid or thickened, clog nozzles and disrupt the spraying process.

Technology

The Multi-Use Seed Drill offers versatility, capable of sowing a wide range of crops like onion, cumin, coriander, radish, mustard, ashwagandha and cabbage directly in the field. Its efficiency reduces seed usage by up to 40% and eliminates the need for nursery setups. With customisable settings, it adapts to various seed types and field conditions. Designed for ease of use, it combines multiple functionalities into one machine, streamlining operations for farmers.

Societal Impact

The Multi-Use Seed Drill reduces costs, saves seeds, and boosts productivity by streamlining sowing tasks. It promotes sustainability through optimized inputs and energy efficiency while making advanced technology accessible to small and marginal farmers.

Current status

The Multi-Use Seed Drill has seen high demand among farmers, reflecting its growing popularity. With 50 machines sold so far, its market success continues to rise, driven by increasing interest across various regions.
