Conventionally, labors have to dig the soil to sow ginger/turmeric. This is tedious; time consuming and back breaking task due to regular bending posture at the time of sowing. Mr. Inderjit hence decided to work on this problem and thus came up with a ginger/turmeric sowing machine.
It is a tractor mounted turmeric/ginger planter with adjustable row spacing. This planter can perform following function:
