The ‘Fertiliser broadcaster attachment to weeder’ is an ingenious device that combines a seed hopper with controlled opening, a fertiliser spreading disc, and a power transmission system. Fertiliser is efficiently conveyed from the hopper to the spinning disc, where centrifugal force propels it over a three-meter swath. This innovative design ensures uniform and precise fertiliser distribution. Power is seamlessly transmitted from the weeder’s gear box to the spinning disc’s gear box, enabling the concurrent operation of weeding and fertiliser application. This remarkable equipment offers immense benefits for small-scale farmers, promoting efficient and mechanised agricultural practices.
