Abstract

An animal-drawn, inclined-roller crust breaker was designed, developed and evaluated in the Alfisol field. It completely breaks the soil crust, causes negligible injury to seedlings, and promotes emergence of pearlmillet [Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.f.) Stapf & C. E. Hubb.,syn. P. americanum (Linn.) Leeke] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (Linn.) Moench] to the level expected in the absence of crusting. It covers a im wide strip, and its average field capacity is 0.35 ha/hr. The design is simple and it can be made locally
