Weeding Tool in Soil Bin

Optimization of Geometrical Parameters of Weeding Tool in Soilbin using Response Surface Methodology

Introduction Soil mechanical manipulation aims to control weeds, organic matter incorporation into soil and improvement of soil structure. Optimizing the tillage tool geometry and working conditions also minimizes the number of subsequent tillage operations required. So, the total energy input for a given tillage system decreases. To reduce the tillage operations and energy requirement, it …
