Study of Resource Conservation Equipments in Wheat in North Gujarat: Resource Conservative Equipments Hitesh Shakya

Wheat is an important cereal crop in the world after rice because whole world fulfill their need of food from wheat crop. Now a days, farmers are getting interest in cash crop production due to higher cultivation cost in wheat production system. To offset this problem,scientists have developed some technologies. Among these technologies, Zero tillage crop production system is getting acceptance all over the world. Taking into consideration, A study was carried out on different four sowing method namely zero till drill,raised bed planter,country plough and broadcasting of seeds in sandy loam soil of North Gujarat region in India. The conclusion drawn from the study was that Zero till system is economically viable production system of wheat crop in sandy laom soil condition of the region. This book, therefore,provides all the field testing data of four different sowing method for wheat crop extensively useful for students of Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering and persons engaged in research work on Resource conservation Technologies and anyone else, who may be considering to help farm community all over the world.
