The government is continuously promoting modern agricultural technologies to make farming more profitable. In this direction, the Super Seeder has rapidly emerged as a highly useful machine among farmers. Attached to a tractor, the machine performs both straw management and sowing simultaneously. It is particularly beneficial for farmers who sow wheat or chickpeas immediately after harvesting paddy.
After harvesting paddy, wheat, or other crops, the remaining stubble in the field is easily shredded into fine pieces by the Super Seeder and mixed back into the soil.
Key benefits include:
By managing stubble effectively, farmers are freed from the hassle of residue disposal. The shredded material acts as a natural fertilizer, improving soil health and providing additional nutrients to the next crop.
The biggest advantage of the Super Seeder is that it simultaneously manages crop residue and directly sows the next crop in the same operation. Wheat, chickpeas, or other crops can be sown directly in fields with stubble, eliminating the need for tillage and significantly reducing overall cultivation costs.
The Super Seeder is available at the Divisional Agricultural Engineering Department in Satna, where farmers can purchase it with up to 40% subsidy under government schemes. Typically, the machine can prepare one acre per hour, including both residue incorporation and sowing.
In regions where moong is grown after wheat, the Super Seeder is extremely beneficial. After the wheat crop is harvested using a combine, the machine mixes the remaining stubble into the soil and immediately sows moong seeds.
Income opportunity for rural youth: The Super Seeder not only simplifies farming operations but also provides income opportunities for young people in rural areas. Farmers who already have a tractor can enable the youth in their family to start custom hiring services with the machine and earn up to ₹1 lakh in a single season.
