Abstract

The main aim of land preparation is to modify and manipulate the land features so as to create favorable environment for seed establishment and crop growth. The research and development in this field must take into account the traditional practices used by the farming community. This paper gives a brief description of farmers’ management of Vertisols and soils with 'vertic' properties and the development of the low cost broadbed maker (BBM) for facilitating surface drainage. Other attachments like planters and cultivators to the BBM for minimum tillage system which are going to be tested on-farm are also discussed.
