Different Sowing Systems of Soybean Crop in Vertisol

For improvement of agricultural productivity, the package of improved implement & machine plays an important role, besides high yielding varieties, fertilizer, irrigation and plant protection practices. In general, the harvesting of wheat starts from the mid of April to the mid of May. The machinery such as raised bed planter, conventional seed cum fertilizer drill, ridge and furrow planter, broad bed planter, and zero-till seed cum fertilizer drill respectively used to sow the seed on a raised bed in better-pulverized soil so that the minimum compaction of soil over sown seed, promote seed emergence, higher moisture availability to the plants and better drainage facility during rainfall from furrow are available for sowing of the soybean crop. Whereas, the conventional seed cum fertilizer drill is used to sow the seed on a well-prepared seedbed and leveled field with minimum compaction of soil on the sown seed but it requires irrigation in planting for better germination.
