Abstract:

Two weeding tools were evaluated in SRI. Maximum weeding efficiency was recorded with mandava weeder as compared to cono-weeder. Mandava weeder consumed minimum man-days/ha. Therefore, mandava weeder may be promoted at farmer’s fields in wider scale as it reduces energy use of small and marginal farming community of the Indo-Gangrtic Plains of the Eastern India.
