Abstract:

The field performance of different weeding tools/implements viz. khurpi (hand hoe), grubber, wheel hoe, and power weeder were carried out at the Institute Research Farm, ICAR-Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, Bihar. Results revealed that actual field capacity of 0.0046±0.002, 0.0086±0.0002, 0.0189±0.0003, 0.0696±0.003 ha/h had associated with khurpi, grubber, wheel hoe and power weeder, respectively. Khurpi had recorded the maximum weeding efficiency (98.9%) and lowest in case grubber (74%). Similarly, power weeder contributed to higher plant damage (1.94%). Operational of khurpi had recorded maximum (Rs.6793/ha). A reasonable amount of savings of weeding operation were observed using grubber, wheel hoe, and power weeder as compared to khurpi.
