ICAR-CIAE SPAD Meter
SPAD (an absorbance-based relative chlorophyll measure) is the most commonly used quick diagnostic tool to measure or estimate crop health and nitrogen status. ICAR-CIAE has developed the “ICAR-CIAE-SPAD meter”, a low-cost instrument.
Pre-Emergence Herbicide Strip-Applicator-cum-Planter
A Pre-Emergence Herbicide Strip-Applicator-cum-Planter has been developed to apply herbicide at the time of sowing in widely spaced crops to control weeds along the crop rows, often not possible in mechanical weeding.
ICAR-CIAE Mechanical Intra and Inter-row Weeder for Wide-Spaced Field Crops
A mechanical intra and inter-row weeder has been developed for weeding in deep-rooted wide spaced field crops. The combinations of active (spring tyne) and passive (sweep tyne) tools are used to develop an intra and inter-row weeder.
ICAR-CIAE Plastic Mulch Laying Machine
A tractor operated drip lateral and plastic mulch layer-cum-planter has been developed to perform these operations in single pass of the tractor. The planting unit consists of pneumatic seed metering and eccentric slider crank mechanisms.
ICAR-CIAE Tractor Operated Side Trencher-cum-FYM Applicator for Grapes Orchard
a tractor operated side trencher-cum-FYM has been developed for placing FYM on either side of plant rows, continuously. It is operated by hydraulic system of tractor using hydraulic motor.
