Development of Wireless Technique to Regulate Seed Dropping in a Seeder for Intercropping

Korla Harshavardhan, S. S. Sivakumar, J. John Gunasekar, K. Balaji, P. K. Padmanathan & V. Alex Albert · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2021

Although intercropping gives additional yield per unit area than sole cropping, yield may also decrease as the crops differ in their competitive abilities. To avoid competition and to accompany complimentary action between the base crop and inter crop in intercropping practise, p...
