Unlocking the Potential of Zero-tillage Farming: Challenges, Opportunities, and Key Influences on Adoption

A. L. Lakhani, B. P. Patel & M. N. Gajera · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2024

Zero tillage (ZT) is a crucial agricultural strategy that prioritizes little soil disturbance. This research investigates the future possibilities of ZT, concentrating on three critical dimensions: technology developments, climate change considerations, and possible rise in adopt...

Performance Evaluation of Manual Seeder Machine for Precision Farming

P. R. Balas, A. L. Lakhani, S. J. Pargi, T. D. Mehta & J. M. Makavana · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2024

Proper placement of seeds in the field is the most important operation to obtain an optimum yield of the crop. In India, about 75% of the landholders are small and have marginal land-holding capacity. Considering the limitations due to costly seed, the traditional method of manua...

Inter and Intra Row Weed and Its Effect: A Review

P. R. Balas, S. J. Pargi, A. L. Lakhani, T. D. Mehta & V. U. Bambhaniya · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2023

In India, One of the main biological barriers limiting crop output in India is weeds. Most crops are prone to weed infestation. Millions of weed seeds are present in most agricultural soils per hectare, and if weeds are not controlled, they substantially lower crop yields by comp...
