Performance Indices of Farm Implements for In-situ Incorporation of Biomass (Green Manural) in Rainfed Situations

Five combinations of existing farm implements were selected based on their popularity in the region and evaluated their performance for in-situ incorporation of three green manural crops in rainfed situations. Influence on soil available nitrogen and soil organic carbon over the period as an output of biomass incorporation was assessed along with performance of Implement's treatment. Present investigations concluded that influence on soil properties is dependent on performance of Farm Implements as way of incorporation varied with each implements. Overall, performance indices of treatments showed that rotary tiller is superior for biomass incorporation.
