Low Energy Hand/foot Precision Planter for Seed and Fertiliser' |
Designed for use by women Prior to dropping the seed the tool is pushed forward and this creates and maintains the tapered slot in the ground. The slots created by two spears maintain a space between seed and fertiliser and prevent direct contact. The spears are made from high carbon steel (recycled leaf suspension) and resist abrasive wear in sandy soils. The ends of the tubes are flaired to ensure the seed and fertiliser are directed into the ground.
The space between the spears increases gradually to reduce friction in the centre and prevent blockage by soils when wet. Delivery System The ends of the delivery tubes are curved to ensure the seeds/fertiliser fall into the holes. The system delivers both seed and fertiliser to a suitable depth in the moist layer. Using hand dropping ensures that precise amounts of both seed and fertiliser are placed in the optimum positions for most efficient utilisation. Top dressing has not been found necessary or effective. Drawings available |
